Re: gEDA-user: Missing generic QFP64 form gEDA PCB library

[Olof Tångrot <olof.tangrot@biologigrand.ac>]

Since the source for the gEDA library says it is auto generated and should not be modified
I can not commit a patch. Hand me the real source and I will create a patch for it adding
the missing pattern.

Perhaps Steve Meier will agreee to review my work and we will both contribute to make
the generic support a little bit better.

As I said, select "QFP menu, generic" from the ~generic library.  That
will give you a QFP builder.  I agree that expanding the geda library is
a very good thing though.  Just a question of time to add to it with
very careful checking.
