NG-SPICE Implementation Document
Hi all,
We are approaching the end of August, which means that most of the
subscribers of this list will be back from their holidays. This is the
time to start the writing a document to describe what ng-spice will be.
This task should be accomplished mostly by people in the electronics
industry and academia:
- VLSI design professionals
- VLSI related courses teachers
This to design a software product that is useful to the community that
should use it. The document should gather the ideas appeared on the
list in an ordered manner. I think that this task can be accomplished
while deciding what to do with the license issue of spice code.
I would like comments on the following:
As Stallman wrote, we cannot use GPL covered code in ng-spice, which does
not mean that we should exclude LGPL covered software, a lot of good
libraries are LGPL covered. Our efforts should concentrate on the
following tasks:
- Writing the implementation document.
- Applying available patches to the source (not readline).
- Trying to close the existing bugs
I have downloaded the patches from the Macquaire University and will apply
them to the CVS ASAP. The people interested in the implementation doc,
should write a message to this list at the attention of James Swonger.
