Yes, the community can help. The only barrier is that you need a Fedora login in order to leave karma. It is pretty easy to get a login - just visit:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ and click on the "New Account" link. You can download the KiCad 5.0.2 packages here (even without a login): https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1168820 There are rpms for ARM (both 32- and 64-bit) as well as for X86 (again 32- and 64-bit). You can test one (or more) of the arches, in either a Fedora 29 VM or on a real system. You would then enter your karma here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-40a9391ac3 Steve On 12/4/18 2:03 PM, Rene Pöschl wrote: > How does a package get karma?
