Delay is no problem...

I'm currently programming (24 hrs if necessary) in a mini code-sprint to
get a test-suite running for an experiment (we have visitors on
Thursday). Unfortunately, gschem will have to wait.

I agree that Patrick's changes may be technically superior in the Undo
respect, but it would be _REALLY_ nice to let people know what he's
working on them first! I do feel that the goalposts have been shifted
slightly here.

I expect I will have to re-apply my initial monolithic patch manually
re-based on the latest HEAD after Patrick's code changes, and see how
much needs re-doing. A diff from Patrick would be handy to see the
impact, rather than a complete tarball. (I've not had chance to get the
version he based it off and run the diffs myself).

I was hoping to split down my original patch, perhaps into per-file, or
per-object type patches - even if they must all apply at once to build.
It should also be possible for me to merge later patches into those,
such as bug-fixes on top of my own work. This all requires lots of time
and effort, so in the grand scheme of things, doing it on top of
Patrick's changes is not much harder.

I'm still not sure how much architectural change there is in Patrick's
code (no time to diff etc..), so it could be "interesting", especially
as it needs merging with Carlos's branch before being comparable to my
code.

Is Carlos's moving / rotating whilst zooming code much different from
the current way of doing things? (I remember seeing abuse of the undo
mechanism for this in HEAD). If not, would it be possible to apply
Patrick's undo-less solution on top Carlos's branch, rather than HEAD?
(Just a thought)

Regards,

Peter C
