Well, I upload my whole working set of symbols and footprints. As such they are of course biased by the projects I do and infected by the bugs I didn't manage to squash. Having everything uploaded reduces the hassle considerably. I just use gedasymbols like a regular CVS server and add a comment line in the index file. > So...

IMHO, the more work saving requests are "I need a footprint for an Alps stereo potentiometer, series RK14K122" (Yes, I really need such a footprint right now ;-) ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
