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

[steve meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The stock libgeda supports net type or bus type pins. I would just make
it an option when editing a pin. Make the default type a net type.
Current gschem behavior of a bus type not being able to connect to a net
is fine

thanks,
