I'll try to get it done and uploaded in the next couple of weeks I guess. Cheers! Chris

I'll file an ITP in the next few days. I filed an ITP: #1141082 Seems simple enough to package, just need to find a spare hour ;-) Cheers! Chris

It sounds like kicad-library-utils should be packaged its own source package. I can do that if no one else wants to. I'll file an ITP in the next few days. Cheers! Chris

We could maybe include these files and helper also int the src:kicad package. But for this someone need to step up and take responibility on doing that. I've no further knowldge on how to use these scripts and helper, that makes it nearly impossible for me to provide and package the stuff into something useful. To me best would be to get this all integrated into the KiCad source code as these tools are also related to KiCad. Regards Carsten
