Wayne - I downloaded the kicad-5.0.0-rc2.tar.xz file you set up. Unfortunately
it looks like it was created from inside the kicad-5.0.0-rc2 directory - there
is no top level directory:
$ tar tvf kicad-5.0.0-rc2.tar.xz | head
-rw-rw-r-- root/root 1739 2018-05-20 21:20 .gitignore
drwxrwxr-x root/root 0 2018-05-20 21:20 3d-viewer/
drwxrwxr-x root/root 0 2018-05-20 21:20 3d-viewer/3d_cache/
In contrast, the kicad-4.0.7.tar.xz file has a top level kicad-4.0.7 directory:
saf$ tar tvf kicad-4.0.7.tar.xz | head
drwxr-xr-x wstambaugh/Domain Users 0 2017-08-28 10:31 kicad-4.0.7/
-rw-r--r-- wstambaugh/Domain Users 1277 2017-08-28 10:31 kicad-4.0.7/.bzrignore
-rw-r--r-- wstambaugh/Domain Users 32 2017-08-28 10:31 kicad-4.0.7/.gitconfig
drwxr-xr-x wstambaugh/Domain Users 0 2017-08-28 10:31 kicad-4.0.7/3d-viewer/
For now I can work around this by rolling my own tar via git-archive, but I
think it would be preferable if the 5.x tars followed the 4.0.7 structure and
had a top level directory.
