Re: Kicad Library Concept Ideas

 

No - that's good question. We are still feeling our way around the source as well.

My initial response is that it would require all library providers to run a bzr server which would be a bit more heavyweight than a dedicated lib server. This may or may not be a problem.

I'm sorry if this question seems dumb, I'm still getting my feet wet
with Kicad and its source..

but reading your document, isn't this already achievable by putting
your library under a versioning tool, like bzr, on a centralized server?

Dick, Wayne&  Jean-Pierre,

A week ago Simon Rogers posted on the developers mailing list
regarding some ideas with the Kicad library. A "we" was mentioned in
the post, well, the "we" is made up of Simon and I - we both work
together at the same company and have used Kicad for a while now.

Anyway, onto the ideas. I have attached an overview document to this
post, which outlines our ideas. I think what is important and needs to
be stressed is that as it stands, we do not want to change anything
fundamental in Kicad - instead, our work builds on functionality for
the future. In fact, the idea of the sweet parser is perfect, and we
require this to move our ideas forward. Furthermore, if there comes a
time where it is ready to be merged into the main branch it can be
done with relatively small modifications of the underlying application
core, as I think you will be able to see.

However, we would really like to open up the floor for comments on our
proposals. We have been thinking about it for a while now. We have
more detailed design documentation (in the form of pictures and
flows), but these are not entirely ready for the public domain just
yet (have been moving house this last week, and paid work has been
getting in the way :-/ ).

Please, if you have any questions or comments, let us know and we will
endeavour to explain ourselves better! :)

Kind regards,

Mike Goodfellow
