Initial Open Source Environment Packages

[curtisma]

Problem Statement

We need to be able to create a conda environment for designing integrated circuits using open source tools.

Proposed Solution

The following tools and libraries should be added to conda-forge. starting with at least one layout and schematic editor.

• magic: layout editor, magic feedstock
• xcircuit: schematic editor
• xschem: schematic editor
• ngspice: simulator, ngspice feedstock
• Xyce: simulator
• klayout: layout editor

Here's an initial Conda environment definition file:

# opensource.yml 
# Open source Viper IC design environment
name: open_source
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - magic

looks like ngspice is already in conda-forge: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ngspice

Awesome! I've updated that in the list.
