Hi Johannes, I think that script is pretty good for the initial pull. With a little work to check if a directory exists (in which case 'pull' instead of 'clone') it will be much better. The challenge I think is placing the cloned items in an appropriate directory and maintaining them. On Linux and OSX this would be trivial - simply create symlinks. I don't know about MSWin. Another convenience would be to create the fp_libtable entries as well, but managing the entries can be tricky: basically the main table would have to be parsed and entries only added if they don't already exist. - Cirilo -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
