gEDA-user: git for gedasymbols.org ?
Hi. Getting used to git I get increasingly unused to cvs. I find myself typing cvs pull ;-) A more serious issue is speed. As the repository grows, the processing times get noticible. Currently, a simple cvs update takes two minutes. How about git for gedasymbols.org?

gEDA-user: PCB: adding information to gerber output.
Hello all, I was wondering if it is possible to add more information to the fabrication layer output of the gerber export (*.fab). I like to add the copper thickness for that specific pcb (preferably for ever layer individually (inner/outer layer)).

Re: gEDA-user: git for gedasymbols.org ?
I have to agree with Mark. Maintaining a hierarchical organization would be a laborious and thankless job for one poor schmuck. But a tagging scheme puts most of the burden on individual contributors. I think it could actually work.

But a tagging scheme puts most of the burden on individual contributors. I think it could actually work. I would imagine that each contributor would have to assign one or more categories to each footprint. How much is it to ask that someone click Pushbutton Switch or LED in a list of categories. Some things might belong to more than one category, and that is where tags make it easier in some ways. If there were a standard set of tags (switch, momentary-switch, toggle-switch, led, smt, through-hole, header, etc.) then a hierarchical browser could be implemented for footprints having appropriate tags. (By mapping certain tags to certain points in the category list/tree.) Tags are more general than categories, but in my experience it is quite difficult to productively browse a database that uses free-form tags. If there were well-thought-out, strictly standardized tags that each contributor applied consistently, then it might work well.
