[Kicad-developers] Gitlab CI sucks

2020-04-24 Thread Nick Østergaard
Hello Everything new is hard. I fell quite a bit frustrated by the pipeline scripts. https://gitlab.com/kicad/services/kicad-doc/pipelines/139696624 Someone with some more experience please propose a better merge request that will not unconditionally push to the registry, and trigger downstream

I don't think we gain anything for adding more directories. As Andrew suggested, it is probably better to make a script or helper tool for yourself to do that. You may be able to use aws s3 or s3cmd to query the server. On Fri, 24 Apr 2020 at 22:58, Andrew Lutsenko wrote: > > If you do

If you do something daily then why not automate it? A simple shell or python script will do the job and use much less ram than a browser tab :) On Fri, Apr 24, 2020 at 1:10 PM Eeli Kaikkonen wrote: > I keep the Windows nightly build download server page ( >

[Kicad-developers] Separate download server directory for each Windows nightly build installer version?

2020-04-24 Thread Eeli Kaikkonen

[Kicad-developers] Submitting new wizards and plugins

Please excuse me if this has been asked before or it's in a FAQ somewhere that I haven't located. I've written a number of scripts for KiCad over the past few months for things like component alignment and spacing, and am now working on converting those to plugins and additional footprint

Re: [Kicad-developers] Is it really the case that installing KiCad on a Mac requires manually copying files around?

Just a small comment. The windows that Adam attached are actually Finder, the file explorer thing on macos, that is stylized as part of the Disk Image file (.dmg). Hence, when the user do the "drag the KiCad folder to Applications" it is just a normal file copy. It just happens that apple peeps

This is completely standard. Infact, the .pkg installers that Jon mentioned are in my experience very rare (only Microsoft Office and MatLab initially spring to mind). On Fri, 24 Apr 2020 at 15:22, Rene Pöschl wrote: > > Hi all but especially adam, > > > lately there where a few threads on the

I believe these users are talking about the normal MacOS method of installing software, which does typically involve copying files. Normally MacOS software is packaged as a disk image that is mounted when you double click it. The mounted image then normally contains the software to be installed,

Hi all but especially adam, lately there where a few threads on the forum where installation on Mac came up. The users reported that they installed KiCad by manually copying files around which sounded wrong to me. But as a lot of users seem to be under the impression that this is indeed the
