gEDA-user: Ubuntu package for 1.6 and footprints

[Kelvin Gardiner <kelvin@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been looking at geda as a replacment to Eagle, as I want to use a 
fully open source tools flow. I've got a couple of questions I hope you 
guys can answer.

I use Ubuntu which has gschem 1.4. So I've downloaded the newest code 
with git and compiled it. Given that there seems to be quite few changes 
is there any plans to build a 1.6 Ubuntu package either for relase in 
the Ubuntu repos or via a PPA.


While looking at the code base I found geda_manager, is this project 
still alive?


I'm having trouble finding the correct footprint names for components. 
Is there a list of footprints. Would it be possible to add a dropdown 
list of footprint names for a selected component in the component 
attributes dialog.

Thanks,
Kelvin
