Please arch teams, stabilize sci-electronics/kicad-20070115. You can find detailed instructions on how to test KiCad there: http://dev.gentoo.org/~calchan/sci-electronics/tests Thanks in advance. Denis.
x86 stable
Attempting to close the 3D window kills my machine - no more X, can't use ctrl-alt-Fn to switch to a console... SSHing into machine and rebooting works...
(In reply to comment #2) > Attempting to close the 3D window kills my machine - no more X, can't use > ctrl-alt-Fn to switch to a console... /me hugs welp Does it always do it ? If so, are you sure this is a KiCad issue ? In any case I can't help you much with the tracking of this issue as I don't have an amd64. Could you please try and debug this ? Denis.
On amd64 here I don't have that problem. welp, could you try to reproduce?
(In reply to comment #4) > On amd64 here I don't have that problem. welp, could you try to reproduce? =media-gfx/wings-0.98.32a (only multilib secure) =media-libs/esdl-0.96.0626 (to be in sync with other arches) =dev-lang/erlang-11.2.1 (same as above)
Please, amd64 team, could you stabilize this ? It's been almost two months now, and you've got a nice testbench to verify it works. Also, I'm adding ppc64 to the CC list, as it's been marked ~ppc64 long enough to be stabilized on ppc64 too now. Thanks in advance.
Everybody please note that I have just removed the media-gfx/wings dependency in favor of a postinst message suggesting to install it manually. wings depend on erlang and esdl and those three would need to be fixed and/or stabilized on amd64 and ppc64. Plus not having to emerge erlang and esdl is a good thing on slow machines (wings is only used to create 3D models of components, so not everybody uses it). Stabilization should be easier for you guys now. Denis.

Users with slow machines can set it off, and is a good thing that programs install all dependencies if needed even those dependencies are optional and don't are needed for compiling (we have RDEPEND variable to this). Of course, this should be done after the edsl-erlang-wings stabilization.
(In reply to comment #8) > What about making this dependencie optional via USE-flags? Because: 1- Wings is actually not a dependency. This was a mistake from me since the beginning (kicad was my first ebuild as a gentoo developer) and I had never fixed it. Wings is useful only to create 3D views for new components. This doesn't prevent you from using the 3D capabilities of KiCad with existing libraries. Very few users create component libraries, and even fewer add 3D views of components in their libraries. Those will simply need to emerge wings to create their 3D models. 2- It doesn't solve our stabilization issue. Denis.
Marked stable on amd64.
ppc64 stable last arch CC'd -> marking as FIXED
