Shall we update the distributed sym files so they pass gsymcheck ? Should gsymcheck really complain about a "missing" numslots=0 and report error for a net=GND:2 attribute?
*** When doing pcb import schematic, I get the message: Remember to check that your schematic has no errors using the drc2 backend. You can do it running 'gnetlist -g drc2 your_schematic.sch -o drc_output.txt' and seeing the contents of the file drc_output.txt. gnetlist -g drc2 gives: ... Checking pins without the 'pintype' attribute... NOTE: Found pins without the 'pintype' attribute: U3:1 U3:3 U3:2 ... The U3 is the lm7805-1.sym from gschem and it does not contain any pintype attribute. It is easy enought to correct: $ diff `locate lm7805-1.sym` 1c1 < v 20080127 1 --- > v 20031231 1 19,20d18 < T 300 600 5 10 0 0 0 0 1 < pintype=in 28,29d25 < T 800 0 5 10 0 0 0 0 1 < pintype=pwr 37,38d32 < T 1300 600 5 10 0 0 0 0 1 < pintype=out It also fails gsymcheck: $ gsymcheck -vv lm7805-1.sym gEDA/gsymcheck version 1.4.0.20080127 gEDA/symcheck comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; see COPYING for more details.

Checking: /var/home/karl/Net/git/gaf/symbols/linear/lm7805-1.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 ERROR: Found duplicate pinnumber=2 attribute in the symbol ERROR: Found duplicate pinnumber=2 attribute in the symbol 8 warnings found 2 ERRORS found *** Should a missing numslots=0 really be a warning? It is annoying to include it in most sym files just to make gsymcheck to shut up. The "ERROR" is due to the: T 1600 900 5 10 0 0 0 0 1 net=GND:2 Should that really be an error?
