Re: gEDA-user: weird names in PCB part library

[Stephen Meier <smeier@AlchemyResearch.com>]

I confess, I don't use a graphical wysiwyg method. I don't use a macro 
language. I don't use a land pattern generator program. I use emacs. 
With the amount of time I have put into creating patterns, I should have 
written a generator by now. But how patterns are created is rather 
irelevent to me. What we need is a library of tested and proven 
patterns. Generating patterns using a macro just before they are dropped 
in has additional risks of is my macro tool the same version as yours 
will i get the same output. And so on.

So generate the land patterns as you will but have them saved as the new 
format.

My personal library has 51 standard patterns and a few custom or 
specialized patterns.

Thanks,

Steve meier
