Dear Dick,
I see that you have included kicad-install.sh in the script folder.
Great. Mind that I have done some tests and I had to make some
modifications (included yum too). Would that be possible to update the
one that you put in the script folder with the kicad-install.sh from
here:
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/download/attachments/4685872/kicad-installer.zip

Also, how do I keep them synchronized? Shall I just put a link in the
kicad-pcb.org page point at the launchpad?

Regards
Fabrizio
