'Lo all.
I'd like to propose a new category.
Name: dev-pic
Alternate name: dev-embedded
Purpose: development software dealing with PIC microcontrollers and
other embedded chips.
We currently have pending ebuilds for a fair number of the packages
listed on a site (http://www.gnupic.org/) that tracks software for
handing PIC microcontrollers et al under linux. There is also at least 1
ebuild in the tree for this type of software, wrongly filed under
dev-util (It's an assembler/linker/deassembler for PIC1[246][CF]*
chips).
Support Reasoning: I've got a class on programming PIC16F87[47] chips
this semester, and I really don't want to use the nasty windows programs
to build my code. And since I've got access to the hardware, might as
well test out the code that should work to get it into the tree.
(For those interested, for my class, we had to come up with independant
projects to do with the chips, and my team has decided to go with my
suggestion of building the interface unit for an embedded OEM GPS
reciever).
