ack. This set of symbols should provide the ability to start working as is and generally be examples for complete working symbols. That is, they should contain footprint attributes. And when applicable simulation attributes, too. HOWTOs and manuals may refer to these items. In addition, there should be a discoverable mechanism to exclusively use a specific set of libs. Currently gschem and gnetlist use a multiple fall-back strategy to find actual instances of footprints and symbols. This is the kind of automatism that introduces nasty design failures. It makes the user feel less in control and uneasy. The cvs way to mirror the contents of gedasymbols.org on the local hard disk should be installed by default. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
