Hello!
I have been trying to update to the latest nightly build for a while (Ubuntu 21.04), but whatever I do, no way to get a more recent version than June 1. Do nightly build packages exist for Ubuntu? (I mean, a .deb file that I could download and install like the WIndows or Mac packages)?
Thanks,
STUFF happens, and sometimes the nightlies get delayed for a bit.
I’m running Ubuntu Mate 20.04 and just installed KiCad V5.99 nightly with the terminal.
The command:
sudo apt install kicad-nightly
resulted with the reply:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
kicad-nightly is already the newest version (202106010840+ed66c0f14d~128~ubuntu20.04.1).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
distro-info libllvm9
Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove them.

The Windoze version of KiCad nightly has been updated as of today. However, remember that running daily nightlies is generally a bad idea for actual design work. It is best practice to find a nightly that appears to be stable with the features that you need; and stick with it.
Hello!
Thanks for your reply. I have basically the same output.

I’m aware of that, and that’s why I also have a version 5.1.10 running. But I would like to try the new features, and that’s why I’m asking.
The Ubuntu nightly builds seem to be failing since June 2, not sure why
Hello!
Thanks for the info. I was assuming it was only here. If many people have the same problem, it increases the chances to be fixed soon.
Thanks
I also did an update (with apt) and the date of the packages seems to be

Version info of KiCad-nightly V5.99 also shows this date, but copy & paste of the version info does not work anymore. Is it useful if I make an issue for this in gitlab?
Hello!
Thanks for your reply!

Yes, absolutely!
Thanks,
The fix for finding python3 is in, most probably the next nightly build will be successful (unless there was something else going on).
The PPA now has a new build on it from today.
Although the builds for 20.04.1 seem ok now, the build for bionic (the one I’m waiting for) looks still broken:
https://launchpad.net/~kicad/+archive/ubuntu/kicad-dev-nightly/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=
It has been fixed now, so python 3.6 should work.
Hello!
Thanks for your replies, it works fine now.
Just in case some others may be in the same situation. It didn’t work this morning. I cleaned all the “kicadnightly*” I could find in the software updates, and then restarted from scratch installing as indicated in this site’s downloads in “nightly development builds” section.
By the way, I use Ubuntu 21.04.
I tried the same file as the other day where moving a track didn’t work properly. It works now, and also moving a via doesn’t crash anymore.
Many thanks to the developer team!
I’ve also got a new nightly again now, installed with normal regular system updates.
Copy & paste of version info is also repaired.
