Hi David,

1) Is there a reason that
gnetlist -g drc2
does not report invalid slots?
If you take a couple of 7400 logic gates, and make one slot=1 and
another slot=6, -g drc2 reports slot#2 as unused, but does not report
slot#6 as invalid. I'm not sure what gsch2pcb would do with it after
that, or what gnetlist would do when building a net. I think gnetlist
treats slot=6 as slot=1 for purposes of pin assignment.
Yes, it should report it. It is fixed in CVS. Thanks for the bug
catching!
2) I'm sorry, but (as usual), I can't find anything to answer my
question in the wiki. It's surely not a fault of the information in the
wiki, I have the exact same problem in every wiki I try to search. But
what I'm looking for is: I *know* I saw somewhere recently text on how
to set pins as "not connected" for purposes of drc checking. But I'll be
damned if I can find it now. In the wiki, I tried: not connected, nc,
drc not connected, drc nc, how to set pins not connected, and probably
some others, nothing useful came back.
Place and connect to those pins the noconnection symbol
(misc/nc-*-1.sym). This will connect that pins to the net
"NoConnection", which is not checked in the DRC. However, be aware that
gnetlist and gsch2pcb will conect those non-connected pins together.
We have to find a way to avoid this, but it is to be done yet.
