[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#876656: kicad: Bacport of version 4.0.8 to Jessie

[Miloslav Semler]

Hello Carsten,
thank you for you fast reply... Yes I meant 4.0.7... sorry for a little 
confusing question. I just asked the question if there is chance to new 
version as I still using oldstable (because of some historical software).


Regards,
Miloslav
