Yes, "strong" is my own comment to explain the difference between Recommends and Suggests. The dependency I put is "Recommends" of course.

But changing the package name could be a good option also.

I use "epoch notation" (1:) because I want to avoid files conflict. If I change page name (to kicad-libraries), I can discard this (and mark kicad-library as "Conflicts" instead of "kicad-library << 1:0.1") > >> kicad-library-packages3d own all 3D.

Not sure that it exist for PPA as it's not "official" archive ? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
