 Priority:  major            |   Milestone:  Fedora 13
Component:  FEL              |     Version:  devel    
 Keywords:  kicad, openmoko  |  
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 OpenMoko hardware team uses the trunk version of Kicad with their in-house
 patches. These patches slowly find their way into the kicad trunk.

 New openmoko contributors will need to compile everything from scratch
 before having a glimpse to the schematics and layouts, since their
 favourite distribution is not providing a compatible kicad version.

 This is ticket against Fedora Electronic Lab team to strive to improve
 this issue on Fedora so that Fedora users can use opensource software to
 develop open hardware.

 That said, this should not be limited to the openmoko's needs but also any
 other opensource hardware project which are using opensource EDA software.
