I'm attempting to stop 5.1.3 from moving into Fedora.  I may need a Fedora 
admin to grant me additional privileges to do so, since the build has already 
entered the package queue.

I'll wait for 5.1.4 to be tagged and then I'll start up a new build.

As to Wayne having to delay his announcement because of insufficient Fedora 
karma, I'll request that people on this list test and give karma for future 
builds.  Just three positive votes will be sufficient to expedite release.

As to the discussion from https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1838448 I've 
now had two folks working for RedHat advise me not to circumvent the 
_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS, because of security concerns related to buffer overflows.  
So I think in the interest of safety, I need to leave those asserts in place.

        Steve
