You can easily get them all with gsymcheck and the -vv option. As the pinlabels are not attached to the pins, there will be a warning in the output of gsymcheck. e.g. --- Checking: /home/werner/oss/geda/gaf/symbols/maxim/max4005-1.sym Warning: Missing pinlabel= attribute Warning: Missing pintype= attribute Warning: Missing pinlabel= attribute Warning: Missing pintype= attribute Warning: Missing pinlabel= attribute Warning: Missing pintype= attribute Warning: Missing footprint= attribute Warning: Did not find numslots= attribute, not checking slotting 8 warnings found No errors found --- > What could/should be done about this? The pinlabels could be converted to regular pinlabel attributes. This is really a huge task.

I don't think we need bug reports (maybe a single one) as the symbols can found with gsymcheck. > 2) Werner noticed ,and he did made a list :), that there happen to be > symbols living in www.gedasymbols.org that are still using over-bar > lines. > > What could/should be done about this ? > > Track them down and file a bug report on SF ?? > > This is more of a (gEDA) user responsibility (IMHO, content always > is) > > If my gitified CVS repo of www.gedasymbols.org reads correctly, > Werner already reworked his symbols ;-) Yes I've fixed my symbols. I think every user should do this task. I'll write a mail to the geda-user mailing list how to use the output of the script. And explain how to change the overbars. > BTW: > I'm thinking of pushing this gitified repo on github.com as to get > more exposure for gEDA, but have not decided yet. Don't see much advantage of git over cvs here, because you're usually not searching the history of such content. > I want to get some opinions first whether this is favorable/allowed, > as github.com shares indexes with google, so maybe (gEDA) users could > google for symbols. You can already google for symbols on gedasymbols. Just try e.g. the words: geda symbol max232 geda symbol ATmega8 Regards Werner _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list geda-dev@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
