gEDA-user: reference on good design practices for footprints

2010-12-02 Thread Oliver King-Smith 
   I am coming from the Eagle world, and I am trying the gEDA world for
   the first time.  In Eagle you don't need to think solder masks vs pad
   sizes, or other such details.  They were pretty much hardwired in the
   program.  Is there a good tutorial / reference documentation for
   conservative guidelines for these items.

In order...

1. Do what the part's spec says to do

2. Do what your pcb fab says to do

3. Do whatever makes your life easy
