I haven't found a way yet to get detailed data from the high-level "Fedora bug
reporter" web site, but I did find a number of KiCad bugs logged in Fedora's
Bugzilla. Some of them were created by the ABRT tool, but none are from KiCad
5. In general, it looks like most of the reported bugs are related to DRC
crashes in KiCad 4.0.7. There is a lot more detail in the individual bugs if
anyone cares to look:
bug 1507256 kicad-4.0.7-2.fc27 2017-10-28 Claimed that modules
like "through hole resistors" are missing
bug 1571856 kicad-4.0.7-1.fc27 2018-04-25 Moving components in
eschema or pcbnew (using the default canvas) causes a complete application crash
bug 1577065 kicad-4.0.7-3.fc28 Sun 09:30 When running design
rules check (DRC) in KiCAD's pcbnew tool, the application crashes completely.
bug 1577671 kicad-4.0.7-3.fc28 2018-05-13 after finishing routing
my pcb layout i run the DRC and it sudnely freezes kicad and kicad exits
bug 1586192 kicad-4.0.7-3.fc28 2018-06-05 Whe i've tried "Start
DRC"
bug 1596959 kicad-4.0.7-3.fc28 2018-06-30 Pcbnew -> Perform
design rules check -> Start DRC. The program crashes
Is it the team's policy that no remaining 4.x bugs will be fixed? If so, it
might make sense to annotate the bugs, indicating that users should upgrade to
5.x. Please let me know.
