Re: kicad-install.sh enhancements test release for comments.

 

Adam is correct.  This script has been way more trouble than it's worth
so I'm not interested in maintaining it.  Feel free to use it at your
own risk.

The legacy doc repo has been renamed to
https://code.launchpad.net/~stambaughw/kicad/doc-read-only.  That's why
the doc build is failing.  This repo is no longer maintained and I'm
sure quite out of date.  The new docs can be found at
https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-doc.  This requires a completely
different set of dependencies to be installed on your system to build
the documentation.  It's all documented.  Good luck.
