mostly NetBSD. Sometimes linux (red hat enterprise 3, fedora 8), formerly solaris (but my ultra/10 motherboard died). > * How did you install your copy of geda apps? NetBSD: pkgsrc (ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/cad/geda/README.html) RHEL: build from tarballs along with a pile of dependencies (recent gtk and friends) Fedora: pre-built packages Solaris: NetBSD's pkgsrc on one system, hand built from tarballs on another. > * Which apps do you use. What is your typical workflow? varies. Sometimes only icarus verilog for simulations. Sometimes gschem->gsch2pcb->pcb. Recently I've been too busy to do either. Usually use dinotrace for looking at verilog output. This is largely intertia because when I was using icarus the most, gtkwave was still pretty new and not nearly as complete as it is now. I'll probably at least try making the gtkwave switch next time. Have helped some others with gschem->gnetlist->pads in some cases. This was before I got as involved with pcb and before pcb grew as much as it has over the last several years. gnucap on moderately rare occasions although I have a project on the back burner that will require simulation (hand analysis and simulation verification is pretty much the project) and I plan on using gnucap for that. A key feature for me will be the ability to break out junction current from current that is charging capacitances in a diode. gerbv every time I need to review boards either mine before ordering or a layout someone else has done in whatever tool. > * Did you (have to) modify portions of geda to suit your needs? icarus verilog: modify by way of small patches along the way to build on whatever os I was using at the time (solaris and netbsd mostly). All have been given back to Steve. gschem/gnetlist/pcb yep. I started as a totally new user of geda and pcb 7 years or so ago and, well, somehow I've ended up spending way more time hacking on them as a hobby instead of actually using them. Go figure. gerbv yes. Last time I needed to use it, I had a non-conforming drill file so I added a dialog where the user can override drill file settings. Most of the other changes I've needed for gerbv were done by Stefan based on a test case. > * What is the general flavor of your projects? (analog, digital, HF) Largely high speed analog.
