I guess this is mostly addressed to me due my previous answer within this thread. Nick. I fully agree here with you, no doubt. General and "default" questions should and need to be discussed in a broader audience like on this ml for the reasons you describe. For more in detail questions that are not in the main scope of this list I'd like to see not more than the needed noise, the traffic on the list is not that low most of the time and so I can't always follow some topics every time. The packaging formats in the different Linux distributions are differing in details. So some feature that is possible in distro A isn't possible in distro B. Related to this it's simple impossible to keep the same package name layout in sync over the Linux distributions at the same time. Also the strategy of some distributions for life circle and updates are basically different. The rolling release based distros (like Arch) are fundamentally different to major version releasing distros and lower done the requirements on the underlying package manager. To make it short, I assume it's impossible to let every distro have the same packages with the same content. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert _______________________________________________ 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
