KiCad

install linux script does not update to the latest version

Asked by Gaston Schelotto

Hi,

I've installed KiCad in a 12.10 Ubuntu laptop but script does not update to the latest version. After steps have passed successfully KiCad is installed to the BZR 4756 revision instead the latest one (> 4930). I've used the --install-or-update parameter again and it does not change the revision number. I proceed in the right way or I should change the script?

BTW: the step by step way fails as It ask for the glew package during installation.

regards,
gaston

Changing the script's line 42 to

REVISION=$TESTING

would make you a tester.

"the step by step way" is an ambiguous reference to a set of instructions which could have
come from something 5 thousand years ago.
