gEDA-bug: [Bug 705397] Re: Unnecessary warning: Found a zero length pin:

[KaiMartin <705397@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about not highlighting pin cues in postscript output at all?

Seems to me, this is already the current situation. Pin cues show up on the screen but not in print. This plays nice with the slightly different purpose on screen and on paper. On screen it is nice to have not connected pins stand out and remind me where I potentially have to edit. It is good practice to actively mark  those pins that need noc connection. There is a special no-connect symbol for this purpose in the library.
Prints are more for documentation. There is no much point in reminding me about unconnected pins at this stage.

Title:
  Unnecessary warning: Found a zero length pin:

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  On start-up, gschem issues a warning if pins with zero length are found. E.g:
      Found a zero length pin: [ P 100 100 100 100 1 0 0]

  There is no reason to issue a warning. gnetlist does not care for the
  length of the pins. They are no problem in the GUI, either. When not
  connected, they are visible, by the red mark.

  Proposed solution:
  Remove the check for zero length pins on start-up.
