gEDA-dev: An easy way to get gEDA releases

[Dan Andersson]

OK Ivan,

I'll try the latter additional command.

I downloaded the corresponding files manually and will test it later today.

I'm normally using KiCad as I left the PCB a couple of years ago but I'm 
looking on the updates and I intend to at least try the latest PCB release.

The crunch will be how to make new modules ( module and library editor )...


I have not found any glitches in the Ubuntu 8.04-Alpha 3 yet so this one is a 
bit weird.
