yes. But to be completely precise the tag isn't "6.0.0". It's "6.0.0~20210702.eff75b6+dfsg1-1". The important thing is the *tilde* sign that make this version less than 6.0.0. My mistake has some side effects. The package manager is only looking at versions, if a version of a package is greater than the installed version than it can be installed. To get current versions from the develop branch into experimental the version needs to be higher than the version in unstable/testing. Thus I decided to take the version schema 6.0.0~ to get the above requirement fulfilled. Debian Bulleseye is targeted to be released on 31th July. Means after this date the current version in unstable (that is in fact 5.1.10) will go into testing and can afterwards get into backports. -- Regards Carsten _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
