(oct) very good. the pile is large already ;-)
<wolfspraul>
how was your barbecue?
<wolfspraul>
btw - thank you for the excellent schhist! If anything I'm worried how we maintain it and how we find enough energy to work on brdhist...
<wpwrak>
barbecue was great. 16 people in the end. a little crowded, but it worked. weather played along nicely as well.
<wolfspraul>
also the rebuilding made me realize how badly unmaintained my kicad command line patches are, argh
<wolfspraul>
so much good work
<wpwrak>
(maintain schhist) yeah, the code is a little obscure. at some point in time, i should also add incremental updates.
<wpwrak>
(patches) yep, they really need to go upstream. life wouldn't be the same without them :)
<kristianpaul>
wolfspraul: he replied, not decided wich lincense yet
<kristianpaul>
steve|m: pretty? :)
<wolfspraul>
zecke tried to uplevel but he ran into too many merge problems he couldn't immediately resolve, so he gave up for now
<wpwrak>
(brdhist) the number of building blocks we have is steadily increasing :) i think i'd want to include the "pretty-printed" gerbers as well. not as a real diff, since they already use colors, but perhaps with unchanged zones "misted" out
<wpwrak>
(uplevel) hmm, bad. there are a few annoying bugs in our kicad that may be solved in later versions
<wolfspraul>
no worries, I will uplevel them
<wolfspraul>
also still have the global clearance setting in my todo list
<wolfspraul>
I gave a pretty bad show on the kicad list by first askign whether someone would be interested in merging, then getting some very solid positive replies, then going totally silent
<wolfspraul>
not good style!
<wolfspraul>
so if you feel you want to uplevel kicad, just go ahead I will uplevel the command line patches right away
<wpwrak>
i don't have any changes in kicad, so it's all your choice :)
<wolfspraul>
ok but I cannot qualify the latest trunk easily
<wolfspraul>
I can just blindly uplevel
<wpwrak>
i;ll just have to test my scripts afterwards. but i don't expect major incompatibilities. there's work underway to change most of the file formats, but it's very slow, so it's not an immediate problem
