Thank you to all those who've made us aware of some recent build system changes that broke things - we'll work on a patch and issue corrected files in the next day or two. Apologies for being slow to get back to this.

benx45h: There are two major differences between the two packages.

The first is that this one isn't just "whatever the latest is in Git", but rather is pinned to a particular commit each day so as to aid reproducability and try and help guarantee a usable build each update

The second is that kicad-git cannot be installed along side kicad, which means if you want to use both a kicad-git nightly build and stable on the same machine, it's just not possible.. This package on the other hand is designed to be side-by-side installed so suffixes on -nightly and puts both config and binaries in a different location to allow all this to work seamlessly.

The binary repo seems abandoned, the latest nightly there is 7.99.

Seems like build deps is missing: 'nng'

Hi, this package hasn't been building for a while, applying the attached patch fixes that.

Hello, in the line 74 the PKGBUILD contains -e 's/^Icon=\(.*\)$/Icon=\1-nightly/g' \ that changes the icon from program to program-nightly, since there are no nigthly icons anymore I think we can remove that line to have the correct icons on the Desktop entries. *Edit: the exception is kicad-nightly and could be changed outside the loop.

I would greatly appreciate a version of this package that tracks the stable Kicad 7.0 branch instead of the development branch. The 7.0 branch has already a number of fixes that will likely end up in the next stable release. This would be particularly helpful at this time, given that version 7 is still new and rapidly stabilizing."

You can remove KICAD_USE_OCC from the CMAKE in build():

CMake Warning:
   Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
    KICAD_USE_OCC

Hello DX-MON, in the last commit you changed the sha256sum in the PKGBUILD.in file and not in the PKGBUILD file, this causes the installation to fail. Can you check it please?
