baud123 Created attachment 14232 [details] simarrange.spec dependancy for printrun.spec repository at https://github.com/kliment/simarrange and releases at https://github.com/kliment/simarrange/releases makes me realize that there is a release on 22nd Oct 2023... I guess we are to less powered to pick up little used applications unless a packager have personal interest in this. But you are welcome to become a packager and help getting this (and maybe help on other stuff too) :) But, first question: do it need to be packaged? Maybe you could write and maintain a wiki page instead? From https://all3dp.com/2/pronterface-how-to-download-install-and-set-it-up/ "In theory, any Linux device with the appropriate Python installation should be able to run Pronterface, although this will depend on the physical build."

davidwhodgins From the project URL:
"Printrun consists of a suite of hosts for 3D printers and other CNC machines (printcore, pronsole and pronterface) and a small collection of helpful scripts.
printcore.py is a library that makes writing RepRap hosts easy
pronsole.py is an interactive command-line host with tab-completion goodness
pronterface.py is a graphical host with the same functionality as pronsole"
I knew someone who drove a CNC machine tool for machining certain engineering components, driven by a RiscOS application + a DOS PC. So having this capability is definitely useful for people who know what they are doing.
The indicated documentation is good, but unless this thing is packaged, requires some fiddling, even with Git.
OTOH It is packaged for Fedora.
This looks complicated; comment 3 is a sensible start: a Wiki page.
Also, the question "does it need to be packaged?". There is a lot of documentaion about how to do-it-yourself.
Some people do maintain applications that particularly interest them, so that suggestion too is sensible. You, Benoit, seem halfway there.
CC'ing Ben for his comments; he has 3D printing experience (unsure how much was in Mageia).Summary:
