Electronics packaging team

The pkg-electronics team collaborates on maintenance of electronics-related packages for Debian. All discussion and co-ordination is on the <pkg-electronics-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org> mailing list.

Team members may maintain electronics packages independently; there is no obligation to share all electronics package development.

Anyone is welcome to join; please post to the list. Also you can join the team on Alioth to get access to the Git repository.

Current members

The appropriate maintainer and uploaders line for team packages are:

Maintainer: Debian Electronics Team <pkg-electronics-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Uploaders: Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan <rkrishnan@debian.org>

Package lists

These lists include all packages, not just maintained by the team:

Note about application categories

"Engineering;Electronics;" are used as application categories, they _are_ non-standard, but categories such as (Education and Science) are completely inappropriate for the engineering applications maintained by the team.

This course of action does cause lintian to give desktop-entry-lacks-main-category warnings, and those warnings are ignored.

Also, extra-xdg-menus is to be added to the Recommends field (in debian/control) to provide menu categories for Electronics applications.
