I thought I alread did by replying earlier. But I see now that my inline
comment did not really answer that question explicitly. I want to keep it
update, but upstream fedora packagers have been unresponsive for the kicad
package last time. I guess they were just busy. IMHO it is best to have the
package scripts converge a bit more. But please send patches to the scripts
such that we can get the nighlies updated and tested properly.
