Description: 
LibAREA is a library that allows for creating tool paths for pocketing.


Why this package is not eligible to be included in Fedora:
"Some software is not functional or useful without the presence of external
code dependencies in the runtime operating system environment. When those
external code dependencies are non-free, legally unacceptable, or binary-only
[...], then the dependent software is not acceptable for inclusion in
Fedora"[1]

Since atm only HeeksCNC uses this lib and HeeksCNC depends on OCE
(HeeksCNC->HeeksCAD-devel->OCE-devel), which is considered non-free, I assume
the term "not useful" applies here.

Upstream doesn't provide a release package tarball.


Careful: I usually don't do any python packaging. Here be dragons!
