Yup.  I added the .fp for the web server, we haven't fully migrated to
it yet.  I think some of the tools will look for foo and foo.fp if
you don't specify .fp though.


the gsch2pcb in the last snapshot will look for foo.fp if it can't 
find foo so you can consider the .fp as being optional.  But this 
behaviour is new as of a month or two ago.

Cory,


Hi all,

I coded up this footprint generator for SMT caps, with the data stored in a 
template file. It should be readily extensible for different types (the 
function= attribute is the name of the method to call). Would one of you be 
willing to look at the footprint to see if it is what you want to include in 
gEDA? I'm willing to perfect this tool and make it a valuable addition to 
gEDA.


Thanks for your contribution!  It's folks like you who make the gEDA
community vibrant and alive and helps build the project.

I think the best way for you to distribute your footprint generator is
to get an account on www.gedasymbols.org and then put it up there.
Getting an acct is easy; DJ can handle that for you.  And uploading
footprints, scripts, and other materials is also easy.  The site has
become the de-facto place where these sorts of utilities are uploaded,
shared, and distributed.

Cheers,

Stuart

Yup, just email me.  I do need full names, though, as I use those to
generate the account names.
