15:24 <hackvana> Hello folks. Back in 2011, wolfspraul had some patches for KiCad to add the ability to do a bunch of things from the command line, for example, to plot to gerbers. Anyone know where they are?

15:26 <larsc> probably back in 2011

15:27 <DocScrutinizer05> wpwrak seems to usually have a pretty up-to-date and pimped kicad aiui

15:28 <hackvana> larsc: Funny

15:28 <hackvana> DocScrutinizer05: ?

16:38 <wpwrak> hackvana: the patches are in http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/eda-tools/source/tree/master/kicad-patches

16:38 <wpwrak> however, please note that they're for a very old and now obsolete version of kicad

16:39 <wpwrak> alas, internals have changed, so they don't work with more recent versions

16:39 <hackvana> wpwrak: Thank you!

16:39 <hackvana> Yeah, I remember wolfspraul sent them to kicad-developers but they were rejected. I think it was a missed opportunity.

16:40 <wpwrak> also, the kicad i use is actually an older version, too (though already too new for these patches). i find that the latest development versions aren't quite usable. e.g., some operations in the "traditional" UI have become very slow, and if you switch to the one with the push router, a lot of things don't work yet

16:41 <hackvana> Yes. I still use one from 2013
