Re: [Kicad-developers] For those wondering about KiCad version 5.99.0 in Debian unstable...
Hi Carsten, I was reminded of this thread because of this forum post: https://forum.kicad.info/t/how-install-kicad-6-x-on-debian/30034/4 Is the fact that there is a 6.0.0 tag on experimental also related to this issue with versioning?
