Re: [kicad-users] Kicad now in Debian
Hi Richard! These are very very good news!!! :-) Thank you very much. I am going to test it right now! Best regards, Juan El lun, 23-10-2006 a las 12:58 +, Richard Antony Burton escribió: FYI, kicad has now entered Debian at the unstable level, hopefully it will migrate down through testing to be available in the next stable release, expected around the end of the year. It is currently available on 10/13 Debian Linux platforms, 1/2 Debian FreeBSD platform, and should get built for Debian Hurd too. If you find any bugs in the Debian packages please report them through the normal Debian bug tracking system. We hope to do a new upload shortly with the current version, because there is some overhead on putting completely new packges in we stuck with the version we originally started work on. The new release is ready to go, just needs a little more testing. Richard. Please read the Kicad FAQ in the group files section before posting your question. Please post your bug reports here.

Re: [kicad-users] Kicad now in Debian
Getting kicad into Debian is a BIG DEAL(tm) to kicad users even if you don't run Debian yourself. Debian not only has a large user-base itself - there are many other Debian based distributions: (see http://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros ) Four of these 'Debian-children-distributions' (including the current #1 Linux distribution ) are in the top 12 Linux distributions. ( see http://distrowatch.com/ ) Not only that, but many other distributions use Debian as an easy way to screen for new packages to add to their distribution. In short, the kicad user base is about to explode! As kicad filters into these distributions, this mailing list will get busier and there will be more code patches from sophisticated Linux users that get contributed that will help polish this already great software. Don't underestimate the effect that more Linux users will have on this software. In other words, this is cause to celebrate!
