Re: Documenting environment variables

 

Thanks for the feedback. I don't feel need to aim this for the official
documentation. I can of course host it where it is now or put it in a git
service. And it certainly won't be "ready" for the 5.0 release. Right now
the factual content is the most important. It's meant to help especially
those who need to change configurations for e.g. KiCad 4 + 5 combination,
so I just keep it available and try to enhance it little by little. If I'll
get comments, I'll gather and store them for future editing sessions.
Possible factual errors I try to fix immediately.
