Re: Version 4 stable branch rc1 released.

 

Awesome!

I'm working on putting together an ebuild for Gentoo/Funtoo Linux.  I think
I've got the binaries working, but when I try to start a new project there
are no component libraries when I open Eeschema.  I had thought the
Eeschema components were included, and Pcbnew footprints were separate, but
it looks like this is not true? Is the preferred method to get Eeschema
components still going to be straight from BZR, as described here:
http://kicad-pcb.org/contribute/build-linux/?  Or will there be a "4.0"
release (tarball?) of the component libraries?

As far as the Pcbnew footprints, if I build the github plugin will it
automatically include an appropriate footprint table pointing at the Github
repo?  Or do I need to take specific actions to do that?  I could probably
also optionally do something like what Adam's done for OS X, where there's
the base install, plus extras (footprints).
