Re: gEDA-user: Is gnetman available for download anywhere?

[Paul Tan <pt75234@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Virtuoso implemented that which ease them in
dealing with parameterized BUSS net/pin, easier to
deal with situation interfacing to many backend
tools, some of which even need varialbe pin such as
BUSA[0:N] (n=0) which connects to a single wire net.

The current gnetlist already allows all sort of
flexibilities to deal with similar situations.
My hope is that this flexibility should not
be reduced or restricted without Ales approval
and other developers concensus.

Best Regards,
Paul Tan

Just an idea. Perhaps a simpler solution would be not to use a
separate bus connection type and instead differentiate nets/buses by
their names only. That's how it's implemented in Virtuoso, BTW. This
keeps the number of schematic primitives low (no buses, bus taps, bus
pins etc) and still is fairly robust.
