It currently has references to model files. The filenames are added to the symbol attributes. You can start the simulation after netlisting. Why would you like to store schematics in that database? Or Netlists? Sounds strange to me. I like the idea to use git for going back and creating branches of netlists and schematics. Anything less than a full snapshot of a project dir in sync with a netlist or schematic version would confuse me.

It provides significant improvements for tasks such as; generating purchasing requests, inventory management, and bill of materials management, and component obsolescence. When viewing the attributes on the schematic, one is looking at the latest component information. The function of schematic viewed with latest data can be had with a files-as-database system too, just by using a different project definition file, or ini files, however you call it. Could database driven apps get their data from gschem running this way? That might have to be done with another full project dir, but that can be had easily with a git branch. The work flow I am imagining is: Werner's files-as-database system used to create a version, git create a branch later for analyzing new parts used, update project file to use newest libraries, connect database apps to that project dir somehow, (probably with Peter Brett's libgeda database-connector.

I've added a per project symbol library to the todo list of gEDA 1.8: http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:todos#stable1 But there seems to be a mental block here. We keep trying to make the library symbols more usable, and don't get that that's a road a billion files long. The library symbols are templates only: a facility to automatically copy a selected symbol to the project symbol directory is needed. Not sure. I prefer having complete symbols for all larger parts and only symbol templates for small parts (resistors, ...). But no matter how the data source (symbol library) provides the symbols I think It would be good to have a local storage for every project (or schematic). Do that, and the user is defended from library changes, This would also help to maintain the symbol library, as you don't have to take care of every user of the library. If there's a bad symbol in the library you can change or delete it. Regards Werner ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

gEDA-user: gedamanager - Xlib: extension RANDR missing on display
I'm running geda on a macbook, ver 10.5 osx using macports to pull down dependencies. I'm planning on pulling together a macports release for geda (if that interests anyone). I'm trying to run geda_manager with python 2.4 (through macports). I'm getting the following error when I try to launch it: Xlib: extension RANDR missing on display /tmp/launch-H4jk01/:0. Has anyone ran into this before? Any advice. Peter pcord...@ieee.org ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
