Re: gEDA-user: select entire net/apply netname

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To set a net's name you only need to add the net=this_net_name to one
segment of a group of connected net segments.

gnetlist is smart enough that it will name the entire group of connected
net segments.

If you have two non-connected net segments that you want to be on the
same net then each non-connected net-segment must have the
net=this_net_name
