      Hi All,  
This is my first patch, created by copying and pasting from github:
https://github.com/cdwijs/kicad-source-mirror/commit/019dec6edacd63237680b0662e720b8dab6f1664
Is this method acceptable?
Cheers,
Cedric

    GLM version 0.9.9.3 is incompatible with KiCad. You must downgrade to version 0.9.9.2 or older. Open the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.ming64 to get the location of your mirror, download the older version, and use the following command to install it:
    
    
    	 pacman -U ~/mingw-w64-x86_64-glm-0.9.9.2-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
