As a slight counterpoint, I don't like having the "latest and greatest footprints" right away, it tends to lead to unnoticed errors in a project. It would be nice if we could at least link to a specific revision per project, to freeze the libraries until the engineer is willing to put in the ef

With regards to etiquette and constructiveness, I don't have anything to say - I either agree with you, or already made clear where I don't, and I don't think continuing it would be particularly, well, constructive to keep going. However, since you asked me directly - no, you suggesting users clon

One of my least favorite tasks as project leader is to deal with issues like this. But if I don't they will fester and become problematic which can set the project back. I also like to take the time to think issues like this through so I can respond to them in a calm and rational manner rather th

Definitely. I check out the libraries, mostly because I am frequently offline. I do actually use a caching server for Python dependencies, actually, for Python development--and it works quite well, but the audience for that program is programmers, not hardware designers. Adam Wolf On Wed, Jan 1

I concur. I probably shouldn't be inflammatory esp considering I just became part of the commit team, but suggestions like this really are just /stupid/ and detract from attempts to make KiCad actually usable. Someone really needs to just bite the bullet, tell him the whole nginx crap and half

Mark, I think the most productive option here is to work on a git plugin. I suspect if it was syncable to the github libraries, the inherent offline capabilities/speed that we get by going with git, will make this a real winner, and may make this point moot. Adam Wolf On Wed, Jan 13, 2016 at 11
