Upstream has released version 7.0.0. This is a big feature dump, so it would be nice to have. I have a repo with version 7.0.0 ebuilds in it. They are based on the ebuilds from packages.g.o with minimal changes to work with 7.0.0 (a few changes in config with kicad and maybe a minor change here and there in the supporting packages). I am putting this here instead of #873124 because that bug seems to be suggesting a change to the wxpython is required which it is not. The changes that I have found to be necessary are: * dev-db/unixODBC is now required * occ USE flag is no longer optional * patches used in kicad-6* line are no longer necessary (they seemed to be fixed or no longer relevant upstream) * -DKICAD_PCM and -DKICAD_USE_OCC are no longer used (see #879945) TL;DR: Kicad 7 seems to be mostly a version bump with minor changes and removal of patches as no longer necessary. Reproducible: Always
Clarification after reading this in the final form. By "a change to the wxpython is required" I meant "a change to the wxpython version is required".
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 873124 ***
Just to clarify: 1. That bug makes a statement that I believe is false and might get in the way of updating to 7.0.0 2. That bug didn't start out as a version bump bug, it started out as "sci-electronics/kicad - add wxGTK wxWidgets 3.2 compatibility" and then got morphed into a version bump bug. 3. I am providing a repo (oops, forgot to link it: https://gitlab.flux.utah.edu/alex_orange/kicad-7-rc-overlay ) with ebuilds that work for 7.0.0. As such, I'd suggest it might be cleaner not to try to treat that bug as the version bump.
OK, makes sense to me reopening. Thank you for clarification.
