Dear All,
A big job is done currently on KiCad libraries. Footprints are now on a same repo [1], dedicated repo for templates [2], symbols [3], 3D packages [4]... So it's now time to change PPA libraries package also... *Previous situation:* There is only one package for libs: kicad-library This package contain all libraries: - modules/footprints - symbols - templates - 3D (not all, just a subset) This content is based on git repo: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library and https://github.com/KiCad/*.pretty With this schema it is not possible to install only symbols or symbols+footprints without 3D or any other combination. New repositories size are more or less like this: symbols: ~ 20M templates: ~ 10M footprints: ~130M 3D: ~ 4G Have a single big package look to be not really acceptable since everybody could choose to don't download 3D (for example) if it's not required (or footprint...). *New package situation:* So I have reshaped packages: kicad-library kicad-library-footprints kicad-library-packages3d kicad-library-symbols kicad-library-templates kicad-library is a meta package. It had a dependency (recommend, not strong) to each others. The version of this package will be prefixed with a "1:" to put it on the front of older version of kicad-library. kicad-library-packages3d own all 3D. This package have a large size (~ 330M, 4G on disk) . It will have a recommended dependency to kicad-library-footprint kicad-library-footprints own all footprints kicad-library-symbols same with symbols kicad-library-templates same with ... templates ;) All kicad-library-* packages have a conflict constraint to kicad-library << 1:0.1 and kicad-common (as before). There is also a recommended dependency to kicad-library >= 1:0.1. This last point will avoid cross installation between kicad-library version since those packages are be incompatible (shared files...). *Migration* No specific action are required. Update will do his jobs automatically. Anyway you can now install only one package if you want limit disk space/download time... If you experience any errors, please let me know ! Main error that can be found is one file in two packages (file conflict)...
