I just finished getting kicad dailies to build in debian starting with a ubuntu debian directory - some notes: I would recommend focusing on getting into Debian first - there are about a dozen distributions that draw off of Debian besides Ubuntu and the Debian gate keepers make sure things actually conform to a real deb package. There is a mentoring system in Debian that can help whoever becomes the 'packager' and might be able to provide help with licensing problems. http://mentors.debian.net/ There is a second reason to get in Debian first - CNC systems need to be utterly stable - Ubuntu is focused on being bleeding edge. Debian stable provides a sane system for 'production' systems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail [email protected] Transtronics, Inc.
