I committed fp-lib-table, but with a temporary filler Description of "They way you like them." This is intended to suggest that if a user does not like them, they should submit patch, if even the patch is simply a better Description. (A blank Description will not qualify.) I fixed a bug editing the Description field, change detection was missing. Imagine how much easier it is to simply move *.kicad_mod files from one *.pretty directory to another. Or to take a footprint "export" file and simply copy it into a *.pretty dir to add it to your library. Or when a patch to a footprint is simply a patch to a *.kicad_mod file held on github in a *.pretty style github repo. And the repo can be either installed locally or accessed read-only using GITHUB_PLUGIN. Those capabilities exist now. The fp-lib-table stuff is still not our default build, except for those using the kicad-install.sh script. I don't think it is time quite yet to make it such, there are a couple things outstanding and more testing time is needed. But we are getting close.
