Comment 15 for bug 1804293

Thanks. I also discovered that the commit hash is contained in the version number:

Ex: Version: 6.0.0-rc1-unknown-82f657e~84~ubuntu14.04.1, release build

The commit hash is 82f657e in this case. So, by pulling the source code from the launchpad git repo (`git clone https://git.launchpad.net/kicad `; see: https://code.launchpad.net/kicad), and searching the git log, I can find when my version was compiled, and I can see where it sits relative to other commits, such as a23a445 above which implements this fix. Now, by installing the latest nightly and looking at the version number, I'm able to see that it does indeed come *after* your commit above, which means it contains this fix. Great! Now I can test it. I recommend you put a summary of what I just said somewhere for others to learn from--perhaps on this page? http://kicad-pcb.org/download/source/

I originally wasted a bunch of time googling about how to figure out when a PPA was last updated, then I discovered the hash thing in the version number.
