Hi, the current version of the Linux/debian/RedHad install script has some
short comings which I'm attempting to to fix,
I have put up a test version with enhancements at
http://www.cosmosc.com/kicad/ for developers to try out and give me feed
back.
It's only be tested on Debian, as I don't have red-hat,  so testing there
would be of help.

There 3 files there,

http://www.cosmosc.com/kicad/kicad-install.sh              # the test
version of the install script.
http://www.cosmosc.com/kicad/kicad-install.sh.sha512  # sha512 has for
kicad-install.sh
http://www.cosmosc.com/kicad/kicad-install.sh.version   # contains the
version of kicad-install.sh

The script give's extra control how and what is installed and compiled,
  1: Install/update/build every thing .
  2: Install/update only the build tools.
  3: Update sources compile and install KiCad
  4: Install only.
  5: Check for new version of  kicad-install.sh script
  6: Install new version of kicad-install.sh script
  7: Make new sha512 has and version files for kicad-install.sh
  8: Set install directory, IE  /usr/local/   or /usr/  or what ever you
like.
  9: Disable doc's build.
  10: Build debug version.
  12: Sha512 hash and version files of  kicad-install.sh may be on
diffident server,  thus make it much
        harder to hack the install script.  As you need to compromise both
server's

Give it a try, and let me know if you think. If it's up to replacing the
current install script.

Lachlan.

PS:   I can't get the doc's to build,   the current URL for doc's for bzr
is out of date.. or damage.. or ?
Has any one the correct one for the docs?
