Ok.  I added a pull request on github to pull the master branch of https://github.com/stevefalco/fedora-packaging/ into the master branch of https://github.com/KiCad/fedora-packaging.

This will replace the v4 library repo with the v5 symbol, footprint, and 3d repos.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

	Steve

The main thing I am worried about is the stable release and that the library layout structure and the library names remain constant throughout the stable 5 release series unless the user specifically chooses to install newer libraries.  Between now and the stable release, I do expect some changes to the libraries but we can tag as we go if we need to.

That will potentially enable more Fedora users to test with a consistent v5 of kicad, so I see it as a step in the right direction.
