gEDA-user: Is there a *official* JFET symbol in gEDA?

2009-06-26 Thread Anthony Shanks
I was looking through the default libraries that are shipped with gEDA (newest git) and there are no jfet symbols. I looked through gedasymbols.org and I saw user uploaded JFETS but all of them had conflicting device attribues. Is there a official device attribute for jfets in the gEDA flow? The

The device property has nothing to do with simulations. IIRC gnetlist chooses how to netlist a particular symbol according to it's refdes and uses the value property as the value for netlisting. I don't think the device property is used for anything. I am however making spnet use the device

I see, I didn't know whats how spice-sdb works, never really used that backend, just the spice one. What do you mean by overloading? Nearly every symbol shipped with gschem has a device attribute (caps, resistors, etc.), so it's safe to use the device attribute unless people are manually deleting
