Debian: KiCad 5.0.0 now also available by stretch-backports

 

Hi,

just a small head up, since the FTP guys from the stretch-backports
repository have accepted the various kicad packages the users of Debian
Stretch can pull now theses packages by using the stretch-backports
repository. In difference to unstable/testing the kicad package for
stretch-backports is build *with* SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON as
python-wxgtk3.0 in Stretch is still linked against GTK+2 only.

Instruction on how to use the stretch-backports release can be found on
various web resources and also on the Debian Wiki.

PS: No, there are non plans to backports KiCad to Jessie! At least not
from me.
