Re: [PATCH] Update the PCB from schematics in one click

 

Hey Tom,

When you get a chance, would you please update patches 0004 and 0005 so
I can test this.  They no longer apply cleanly.  I would like to test
this in the next couple of days so I can decide if we should commit it
before the stable release.

Thanks,

Wayne
