My clone of the gerbv repository since I no longer have write access to git://git.geda-project.org/gerbv

Gerbv - a Gerber viewer

A local copy for Stefan Petersen, the original author of Gerbv

This is a copy of the original project as of 2015-09-19. I may or may not follow the original source.

Use the source

The original source is available from http://gerbv.geda-project.org/, which also is the proper and original source code.

The reason

I gave up working on the gerbv many years ago since I had no time when I started my consulting business.

Since that time it seems many people has passed by this code. Many things contributed has been stellar, some things contributed has been less than stellar. Also my own code standard has been updated. Anyhow, I am happy to see that the program has been kept alive and well during the year.

Since I stopped working on Gerbv the source code has moved from repository to repository and I have lost my write credentials along the road.

There are also things that I want to experiment with which are are not necessary "releaseable".

gerbv's Issues

Remove file cruft in top level directory

Residues of log file and CVS usage...

Remove csv.[hc]

Leftovers of bugly code that noone actually knows anything about or uses.
Remove files and see where compilation fails.

Extract right hand indented function

Calculation of the bounding box in step-and-repeat is too heavily indented (gerber.c, line 580-), need to be refactored to a separate function.

Refactor error reporting

In parser gerber.c and drill.c error reporting is ugly and loooots of repeated code.
Refactor it, must probably use va_arg.
Error reporting function must have a short name and return void.
