Hello world :-)

The KiCAD port has been updated to version 10.0.1 big thank you!

Except there is a blocker bug in pcbnew that make it impossible to set
track width as it crashes:

https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/work_items/23708

Many people reported this issue, including one from FreeeBSD, but the
issue is closed without resolution o_O

My question is would it be possible to create a separate package for
older release of KiCAD in case of such situations so it would be
possible to fallback to older release in case of current release is
broken (which happens quite often)? I am aware and don't want to even
mention that older version may not open newer design files lol.

I have verified with cad/kicad-devel and the issue is still there..
and I was supposed to start pcb cncing in a few hours o_O

The only quick fix for this is to have older version in a separate package?

Thanks :-)
Tomek
