Re: gEDA-user: why separate xgsch2pcb?

Just curious, why not include xgsch2pcb functionality inside of gschem?


As an aside, the first thing that lept to mind, was the Unix philosophy of "one tool, one job." So, I started digging to find where it came from. It's one of those "quoted all over the place, but no origin to be found" kind of phrases.

The best I could find was this [1], which sums it up nicely.

I personally don't use xgsch2pcb. I run gsch2pcb from a Makefile, but that's my personal preference. I prefer to script jobs that shouldn't need to be interactive. ymmv.

thx,

Jason.
