gEDA-bug: [Bug 698741] Re: Problematic attribute place holder values

[Peter TB Brett <698741@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For some reason this patch doesn't apply cleanly to git master
anymore... I couldn't get it to apply even when I rewound back to commit
9a141d60f045.  Not sure what's going on here.  Any chance of an updated
patch please?

Thanks!

Title:
  Problematic attribute place holder values

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In some gnetlist backends the name=? attributes cause problems because they look like
  valid attribute values. eg file=? may be mistaken for a valid filepath, and value=? for 
  an actual value. Changing them to name=unknown is one way to solve this problem in the
  interim. It's now safe to remove the special checks for these "?" like the one in spice-sdb.
  This patch updates these problematic name=? attributes in some symbols to name=unknown,
  and removes FIXME code snipit that checked for the ? value in spice-sdb.
