Help with text rotation in Kicad eagle PCB import

 

There appears to be some bug's with Eagle eagle_plugin.cpp Kicad pcb text
rotation,
I have found the place with it appears the calculation's are wrong..
Line 1895 of eagle_plugin.cpp,   I fixed it for package 0 deg's rotation,
but alas it mess's up for other package
rotation of none zero,  I was wondering if kicad PCB use''s same reference
system as eagle, ?  I remember Eagle sch and  Kicad sch
are not the same..  so I assume the PCB is not too ?

Line: 1895
        {
          orient = 90 - degrees - m->GetOrientation() / 10;
          //          orient = 90 + degrees - m->GetOrientation() / 10;
            txt->SetOrientation( sign * orient * 10 );
        }
