Re: Request to remove footprints_doc and related files

 

Hi Nick,

That's a good idea. I will be deleting the folder Friday evening.

Hello

In the kicad-library there is an old footprints_doc folder which is
not really used by anyone for anything I think. Can't we remove this,
they take up about 270MB of space no one is using. The contents of the
footprints_doc is generated from the pcb files in the modules folder,
the dir containing the footprints_doc.

It seems they were made by Bernd Wiebus in 2013.

I don't think we should keep these kind of docs like this. Shall I
make a pull request to remove them or would some of the librarians
take care of this?

Sincerely
Nick Østergaard
