Unfortunately, it wouldn't be easy to do that, since the (load ...) syntax is just passing a filename to guile. If we deprecated a whole config parameter, it would be easy to define a place-holder replacement which triggers a warning. I suspect that the most we could easily do would be a note in the release notes - but the code you're testing obviously hasn't been released yet. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
