Aliening FEL RPM packages to DEB
Gabriel Augusto Ordónez is a Electrical Engineering student from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá-Colombia South América) Linux enthusiast and a debian GNU linux user.
He tried Fedora Electronic Lab live cd and saw that this fedora version has several electronic packages which was useful to him.
He defined "the Fedora Electronic Laboratory" as a "great great project". Unfortunately, debianrejected alliance's inclusion in their repositories, doesn't have other simulation tools or standard cells, or has old versions of those simulation tools.
Since Debian uses .deb, Gabriel is using "Alien" to convert the FEL rpm packages in .deb one by one. He is concerned about compatibility problems between fedora and debian.
Thereby, I'm calling to contributors of other distributions to package FEL packages for their distributions, thus making their users' life easier. Gabriel is a brave guy and has enough patience, others don't.
JulienBoucaron was synchronizing his Ubuntu alliance deb package with that of Fedora's. He even requested a package review for Ubuntu MOTU Science, but the package review didn't go far.

Livecd for Fedora Electronic Lab
Following the discussion on Fedora Electronic Lab on the Fedora development mailing list, I've started creating a livecd for Fedora Electronic Lab this weekend.
Well a few hours ago, livecd-creator ended with a 691 MB image (built from yesterday's rawhide). It looks great, while my previous trials exceeded 750 MB. That reminds me of kadischi.
Firefox and its dependencies are pulled up. So in this live image, firefox is present. Hopefully soon the directory ownership on its dependencies such zenity might be fixed, thus making room for more applications. Possibly by then, gspiceui and gwave would be on the live image.
Two additional things this live image would have by default:
1. keyboard switch applet on kicker. (I have 2 laptops with 2 different keyboard layouts - fr and de. Believe me I know what's its like when "us" keyboard layout is by default. I believe this will encourage more users to try the demos from alliance or magic on the livecd and save their data on their usb sticks.)
2. "keep all below" and "keep all above" buttons on the window decorator.
Simply while using graal, xsch and dreal (from alliance), your desktop will be full with windows. Layout editing will be a pain in the neck as one have to keep on shifting windows as you can see in the following screenshot. Having those two buttons will ease the load of stress one might have.
Some work still need to be done in terms of failed services (nscd and avahi till now) upon boot. I haven't yet tested the Jeremy's fix for rhgb yet. Currently, there is a live image built going on, while I'm writing. Once it's completed I'll post the kickstart file for comments from those on the fedora livecd mailing lists.
Ah yes, I know there was discussions like "whether fedora livecds have gcc on it or not" in the past. Due to lack of space gcc wasn't included. But on the Fedora Electronic Lab live image gcc will be present.
