Hi,
You can either download the tarball from launchpad
https://launchpad.net/pcb-plugins , a ppa from
https://launchpad.net/~mehanik/+archive/ubuntu/geda-unstable or clone
from github https://github.com/bert/pcb-plugins
Get a free github account, add your code to your cloned repository and
do a pull request.
Your commits are welcome :-)
BTW: I started a topic branch in my pcb working repository to include
plugins into the upstream repository of pcb, eventually to be merged
into master and pushed upstream, at the moment it's hard to find spare
cycles for this.
https://github.com/bert/pcb/tree/plugins
Here commits are welcome too :-)
The disadvantage I see when plugins are included in the main pcb
repository is the burden on developers to maintain them ... for an
example: see the toporouter history of events ... it's almost abandon-ware.
A very promising idea and feature for pcb ... only a single developer
devoting his time to other projects ... :-(
Kind regards,
Bert Timmerman.
