There is another option for people who want to use Git: a mirror. There is a mirror under the KiCad user account (the one with all the libraries) on GitHub: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror However, it usually seems to be out of date, and very sporadically updated. For some time, I have had a mirror under my account: https://github.com/blairbonnett-mirrors/kicad This is synchronised to the product series of the Bazaar repository every 10 minutes by a script on my server. Any patches generated against this mirror should be able to be applied against the Bazaar repo quite happily. One thing that I will have a go at doing shortly is adding the bzr revision numbers to the commit messages in GitHub. The mirror is updated by bzr fast-export and git fast-import; I am not sure if this process is customisable but I will try to figure something out. Oh, and I would be quite happy to shift my mirror to the kicad account and continue to auto-update that. My concern would be more about it getting swamped by the number of library repos there -- it was hard to find it amongst the list of repos even when I knew it was there somewhere. I suppose if it is linked in a wiki page / website this is less of a concern. Regards, Blair
