It seems Adam's PPA builds are failing on boost build and pushing PPA service
disk quotas quite a lot ;) I got some questions related to updates and noticed
that the last version being served is r4179.

IIRC gEDA PCB did their implementation with VBOs, so it may be helpful to have
a look. Peter Clifton is the main author.

It may make sense to take a peek how gEDA doest it. I'm not saying they are
doing it perfectly, but their main idea is that everything is a reusable file
and the design is scripted together. Like a C++ project with headers and make
scripts...

Hi,
It seems PPA version report is flawed regarding build revision

I would guess the functionality gets better reception
My use is quite similar, but regarding porting the changes there were
noticeable opposition from main developers. I also see why, regarding how it's
done in reversepcb (it's essentially a quick dirty hack). It also seemed that
the functionality was considered "politically incorrect" ;) If that
Thanks for the answer Miguel, it's the same hack I made. Some trickier linker

Regarding python2, would it make sense to just call "python" as "python2" is
not usually available anymore?
"Python" mostly means python2.x and "python3", well python3.x... The current
use of "python2" creates build problems on stock Ubuntu.

Fantastic work!
I'm definitely interested in native font as it's usually more readable because
of hinting and antialiasing optimisation. I'd very much like to see similar

I mostly care about editor functionality like

Regarding net classes handling... Flexible automatic design rules would need

surrounding nets.

Makes sense. Is it possible to blacklist certain bzr commands in repository

Hi Adam,
Could you also check what's keeping the other than Natty packages at 3193? For
