Hello all,

in an effort to solve bug 1308929
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/1308929) I removed GTS sources from
pcb. Bug deletion by source deletion :-)

Not removed is the functionality coming with these sources, of course.
GTS is a well known package and available in at least Debians packaging
system. So I changed the build system to use this package instead, with
appropriate checks. See the last two commits here:

http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/log/?h=LP1308929

As this is a rather deep change, I'd like to hear your opinion. Is it
fine to remove a whole directory with sources and to depend on a package
instead?

The need for the package can be removed by building with
--disable-toporouter. Toporouter is the only part of pcb using GTS.


Markus
