Lepton EDA for Fedora Linux

This repository contains everything necessary to easily build and install
Lepton EDA RPM package on Fedora Linux.

Current version: 1.9.15 release.
Tested on: Fedora 32 x86_64.

Note: RPM packages for Lepton EDA 1.9.13, 1.9.14 and 1.9.15 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 It depends on the gtkextra library, version 3.0.0 or higher, but this package in Fedora is extremely outdated (2.1.2, from 2010).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.
