Yes. This patch got pretty thoroughly mangled in the review and revision process. The original that Bas and I came up with yielded either the unique attribute, or "attribute_conflict". I think that's better behavior, but Patrick has other ideas. At least the "resolver" machinery here is accessible, so you can create your own plug-in to repair the behavior. You could even sort the values, take the first one, as you once advocated. --- John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd. This message contains technical discussion involving difficult issues. No personal disrespect or malice is intended. If you perceive such, your perception is simply wrong. I'm a busy person, and in my business "go along to get along" causes mission failures and sometimes kills people, so I tend to be a bit blunt. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
