Hey Rob,
We changed the way we tag development versions. Prior to 5.1 we tagged
to the first release candidate of the next version of KiCad. In hind
sight this wasn't a good idea because we had to create a point release
(5.1) to address the gtk3/wxpython4 mess on Linux which was something
that we didn't foresee or every planning on doing. Moving forward, we
will not tag ahead and the development branch tag will be left at 5.1.0
until version 6.0.0-rc1 is tagged.
Cheers,
Wayne

Today, I found that Kicad per deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/ppa-kicad/ubuntu xenial main is no
longer v6.0.0rc1 but rather v5.1.0rc1. A fresh update using apt does not
change that. It seems that I have been missing somewhat. The download
page of linux Downloads (e.g. http://kicad-pcb.org/download/linux-mint/)
suggests to explicitly use the following ppa-address:
ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5
When I add this, I get deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-5/ubuntu xenial main. I'd
suggest that it makes no difference compared to the full ppa-adress on
top of this email - slightly confusing.
Some clarification would be helpful...

Great news. By this way I created a dedicated PPA (Linux Ubuntu) for
this release:
ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1

I'm going to tag 5.1.0-rc1 this evening after I get home from work.
There are still two low priority bugs against the 5.1.0-rc1 milestone
left which I'm going to let slide and try to get them fixed by the
stable release. Hopefully we wont need an -rc2.
Unfortunately, this will break all of the linux distro package manager
version handling because of our previous policy of tagging ahead for the
next version. I apologize up front for the issues this is going to
cause. This decision falls squarely on my shoulders.
The clock is ticking for the library, doc, and translation devs. I
would really like to get 5.1.0 released by the end of February. This
means the libraries, documentation, and translations would have to be
tagged for 5.1.0 around 2/23 to give our package devs some time to get
the packages built and uploaded to the website. Please let me know if
you cannot meet this date.
