Description

Kicad is an open source (GPL) software for the creation of electronic schematic diagrams and printed circuit board artwork.

Designed and written by Jean-Pierre Charras, a researcher at LIS (Laboratoire des Images et des Signaux) and a teacher in IUT de Saint Martin d'Heres (France), in the field of electrical engineering and image processing.

Kicad is a set of four softwares and a project manager:

\* Eeschema: Schematic entry.
\* Pcbnew: Board editor.
\* Gerbview: GERBER viewer (photoplotter documents).
\* Cvpcb: footprint selector for components used in the circuit design.
\* Kicad: project manager.

This is from the stable branch.

So this is rebuilt on the bulk build machine, for OpenJPH; though it doesn't depend on OpenJPH. I don't fully understand this, but it should fix https://releng.netbsd.org/pkgreports/shadow/HEAD/NetBSD-11.0-x86_64/20260926.1131/bulk-test-boost-20260717/depends.log pkg_add: kicad-8.0.9nb8: missing required library: /usr/pkg/lib/libopenjph.so.0.31
