Hi,

I use gEDA on an occasional basis, and have downloaded the zipped source 
files for compiling on the Linux computer I use.

I do not care where the repository sits, as long as it is saved in an 
accessible format.

I tis good that Igor2 has taken theis course of action, saves all the 
source code being lost.

I mainly use RingDove now, after a breif interlude with KiCad, which I 
think was nearly right in v7, and is trying to compete with Altium 
Designer. So I am happy with SCH-RND, PCB-RND.

Regards,
Derek
