This repository contains everything necessary to easily build and install
Lepton EDA RPM package on Fedora Linux.
Current version: 1.9.18 release.
Tested on: Fedora 32 x86_64, Fedora 33 x86_64, Fedora 36 x86_64.
Note: Starting with Lepton EDA 1.9.13, RPM packages don't include lepton-attrib,
the batch attribute editor. It depends on the gtkextra library,
version 3.0.0 or higher, but this package in Fedora
is extremely outdated (2.1.2, from 2010).
Lepton EDA
is a suite of free software tools for designing electronics,
an actively developed fork of the
gEDA/gaf suite,
started in late 2016 by most of gEDA/gaf developers at that time.
It's backward compatible with its predecessor and
supports the same file format for symbols and schematics.
