Source: kicad Version: 0.20140224+bzr4027-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Starting with revision 293 of the kicad libraries (http://bazaar.launchpad.net /~kicad-product-committers/kicad/library/revision/293), several libraries have been renamed. When these libraries are combined with the snapshot of the old ".mod" libraries from wheezy (taken from https://github.com/georgesk/kicad-legacy/), this leads to many footprints having the wrong paths for their 3d models. As an example, the "USB_B" footprint from "library/modules/connect.mod", on line 16189, points to "connectors/USB_type_B.wrl". However, starting with revision 293 of the kicad libraries the path has been renamed to "Connectors/USB_type_B.wrl". As a result, kicad is not able to render the USB type B connector in 3D view. The problem can be solved if you do not clone the latest revision of the kicad libraries when assembling the kicad sources for the Debian package (the "debian /get-kicad.sh" script), but rather clone revision 292. Also, if you clone revision 292 of the kicad libraries, the old ".mod" footprint libraries are still there, so in my opinion there is no need for the extra step to download the legacy libraries from the github repository. Attached is a patch with the proposed changes to the "debian/get-kicad.sh" script.
