Closed Alarm-Siren closed 1 year ago
Need to change the folder structure to match the following:
|- footprints
|- first-library.pretty
|- my-footprint.kicad_mod
|- ...
|- symbols
|- my-symbols.kicad_sym
|- ...
|- resources
|- icon.png
|- metadata.json```
Will need to create a metadata.json file, and create an icon.png (64x64 pixels).
footprint connection references in the symbols will need to be updated to match the new names, and instructions given in the README file will need to be updated (both for manual and Plugin Manager installation).
Note that the plugin manager does not automatically add the downloaded library to the Project Libraries; that still has to be done manually.
Namespace to be com.github.alarm-siren.arduino-kicad-library
All preparations are done this side, now I just need to create the submission to Kicad.
This project has been submitted to Kicad repo for approval. Awaiting answer.
Kicad have approved the merge request. Should be live on PCM sometime tomorrow.
It is live! Closing this tracking issue now.
See here for instructions: https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/addons/
This will necessarily break backwards compatibility due to the structural folder changes, so is being reserved for version 4.0.0.
It will also require a significant re-write of the readme file.
