[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#909136: kicad: missing support for STEP export

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: kicad
Version: 5.0.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The kicad package in Debian doesn't support exporting PCB into
STEP-File, the option in the menu is disabled. This is because the
kicad2step binary is not shipped in the package. However it is
correctly built, so it's just a matter of updating the install file
as follow:

--- a/debian/kicad.install.in
+++ b/debian/kicad.install.in
@@ -13,6 +13,7 @@
 usr/bin/idfcyl
 usr/bin/idfrect
 usr/bin/kicad
+usr/bin/kicad2step
 usr/bin/pcb_calculator
 usr/bin/pcbnew
 usr/bin/pl_editor

Would it be possible to do that in the next upload?

Thanks,
Aurelien
