At least I know I’m not doing things in the wrong way.
Anyway, as far as the 5.1 is a candidate release, I would have liked to have both versions at the same time without the need of compilation from sources.
I’m in the process of releasing several boards with 5.0.2 so I cannot be a 5.1 tester in this moment.
Yes the 5.1.0 stable release should replace the 5.0.x stable releases. But the current 5.1.0-rc1 is a release candidate not a stable release. (It is more like a nightly build compiled for a specific commit.)
I have problems opening the Python console with the PPA build.
The bug report is here:
Could any of you perhaps try opening the Python consolde in PCBnew and report your version (preferably on the bugreport) and if it works or not?
Please note this is mainly aimed at PPA 5.1 or PPA nightly users.
