This package used to only drop the Espressif KiCad files under /usr/share/kicad and leave all library registration to the user.

It has now been reworked, and it installs all files under a dedicated /usr/share/kicad/espressif/ hierarchy (symbols, footprints and 3D models). To avoid touching $HOME during installation, it still does not modify fp-lib-table or sym-lib-table automatically.

Instead, the package now provides an optional helper:

kicad-espressif-register

Run it as your normal user after installing or upgrading. The script will: - create minimal sym-lib-table/fp-lib-table if they don’t exist yet, - back up the current tables (*.bak), - and append global entries for the Espressif symbol/footprint libraries.

After that, the libraries appear in KiCad’s global library managers and can be used normally.

It doesn't add itself into fp-lib-table, thus you need to manually add symbols and footprints

Does anyone else wonder why no esp32-s3 symbols are shown in kicad even though they are in the upstream repository?
