The release dated 29/12/2011 is currently located in the subdirectory sources/old_versions/ the directory http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/ provides some files which were uploaded more recently (20/01/2012). My guess is that I should use either http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/kicad-2012-01-19-BZR3256-stable-UBUNTU_10.10_full_with_components_doc.tgz or http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/kicad_sources-2012-01-19-BZR3256-stable.zip Those archives are very different in size (201 MB, 13.4 MB) and their size is different from the size of the archive wich was packaged for wheezy last time (97 MB). Which archive should I consider? Have you some documentation summarizing the changes, and specially the changes in the components set, and the embedded documents? I rememeber that there have been a few license issues in the past about sourceless documents. ... hmmm. I browsed both archives in a viewer. - The biggest one comes with sourceless executable binaries, many documents and resources. Only a few documents come with a clearly declared license (for example French documents are correctly licensed), and tracking the ownership and the licenses in components appears as quite impossible. - the smaller archive unfolds into a directory KiCad-sources. This one has a valid documentation about ownership and licensing. I think that I should split the packaging effort in two: make the package for KiCad's programs now, and begin an ITP (Intention To Package) for a second package, probably named kicad-common or kicad-share, based on kicad-2012-01-19-BZR3256-stable-UBUNTU_10.10_full_with_components_doc.tgz For the second package, I shall remove many stuff due to license incertitude, and repack its source into a file kicad-common_2012.01.19+dfsg1.orig.tar.gz, the suffix "dfsg1" standing for "in application of the Debian Free Software Guidelines", which preclude the distribution of sourceless or ill licensed materials. Do you agree with such a proposition? Best regards, Georges.
