Stephen,

I would say that you should pull from HEAD of each library.  This will 
probably be acceptable up to the stable release.  At this point we will 
have to tag each repo.  Are any of our library devs planning on doing 
any major reorganization of the libraries between now and the stable 
release?  If so, than we may want to tag the library repos for rc1.

Cheers,

Wayne

Don't forget kicad-templates and kicad-packages3d.

I would think so.  I know the debian distro packaging is going to be 
this way.  Would one of our fedora package devs care to comment on this?

We leave this up to the distro package devs as much as possible.  KiCad 
doesn't try to dictate how it should be packaged.

Cheers,

Wayne
