Update checklib.py script for automated testing about kicad-library-utils HOT 6 CLOSED

I had an idea for detecting which symbols have changed. If we create some sort of checksum algorithm for each symbol, we can parse the master copy, and generate a name:checksum pair for each symbol.

Then run the same check on the current branch and the changed symbols are the ones with a checksum mismatch.

What do you think?

Jon, I have implemented component-level checksum and added a python script for running KLC on any components that have been added / updated into a .lib file.

Now we only need to look at which .lib files have been touched, and pass the old/new versions to the script.

Well that was fast!

It looks like a pretty reasonable way to do this really. It looks like it needs a bit of adjusting before it will be fully suitable for jenkins, but that is just small tweaks about printing output.

I might pull that in to my own branch before I would suggest merging it in to this repo so I can get everything tidied up. I either need someone with admin access to respond to me, or I need to wait a few more days until I can put my server back online.

I'll keep you posted.

One addition that is needed to the script is to give proper return codes based on the KLC checks - currently the script doesn't return anything

This is in a much better state now so I'll go ahead and close it. Thanks you two! Fantastic work!
