Bug 949967 – sci-electronics/kicad: New 9.0.0 release

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alex Orange 2025-02-19 17:18:37 UTC]

Here are a set of ebuilds I've been using to test KiCAD v9 release candidate 3. Suggesting we add them to allow for kicking the tires (and finding any potential problems). These are based off of the -9999 ebuild, just with a special section to grab the 9.0.0-rc3 tag and adding dev-libs/nng dependency. I'll leave it to someone else to backport this into -9999 (in part because I'm unclear on where to draw the line between putting "dev-libs/protobuf" in the normal COMMON_DEPEND vs adding dev-libs/nng dep to the 9999 specific COMMON_DEPEND).

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 7 Alex Orange 2025-02-19 17:22:33 UTC]

As marked, these depend on the dev-libs/nng-1.10.0 ebuild.

[Comment 8 Paul Zander 2025-02-19 17:24:37 UTC]

We don't do git fetching for non -9999 ebuilds.

The existing kicad ebuilds support fetching rc versions anyway.

[Comment 9 Alex Orange 2025-02-19 17:44:30 UTC]

Please clarify? There is not tarball for any of the release candidates as far as I am aware. All that I can see is that there is a tag on gitlab. As far as I can tell that is what they are referring to people that want to build it from source.

[Comment 10 jospezial 2025-02-19 18:52:16 UTC]

9.0.0 released

[Comment 11 Alex Orange 2025-02-19 18:55:57 UTC]

I do see they have a tag building in CI. I also see there's at least one failure so far. Might as well table this for a tad to see if it drops or not.

Do you see any confirmation of this beyond the tag in gitlab?

[Comment 12 Zoltan Puskas 2025-02-19 19:14:05 UTC]

I've checked the KiCad website and the only release they have so far is 8.0.9. I can package tonight that for the time being, but I'll keep an eye out for the 9.0.0 release.

[Comment 13 Alex Orange 2025-02-19 19:23:50 UTC]

I would say 8.0.9 would be worth it for anyone staying on the 8.x line. There was a bug that was fixed in 8.0.8 (made a local ebuild for that). That said, I'm already using 9.0.0 rc3 so no rush for just me.

https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/archive/9.0.0-rc3/kicad-9.0.0-rc3.tar.bz2 is the SRC_URI that would be produced for kicad-9.0.0_rc3, which is also the archive you would get when you download https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/tree/9.0.0-rc3.

Thanks, I just figured that out and was about to reply that I figured it out.

Also: v9.0.0 tarballs available: e.g. https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-templates/-/archive/9.0.0/kicad-templates-9.0.0.tar.bz2

[Comment 16 Zoltan Puskas 2025-02-20 10:09:48 UTC]

I've put up a PR for 8.0.9 to ensure a fixed version for people who won't be able to migrate to 9.0.0 immediately (mostly industrial users).

I'll look into 9.0.0 tomorrow in more details, though I've reviewed a user's PR (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/40656) which does not meet our quality bar so far.

I'll also look into dev-libs/nng bug and see what would it take maintainership of that package, though I likely won't have a choice as it's a hard dependency for KiCad.
