I decided to only split out the 3d models into an extension and set KISYS3DMOD accordingly. This works right now, and is easy as this part of the libraries doesn't want to install anything into the template directory (at least for now). So, it seems I'm doing it "the Fedora way" now, but I might need to take a look at "the Debian way" if 3d packages will also come with their own library table. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
