Re: gEDA-user: Light? Heavy? Reuse...

[Stephan Boettcher <boettcher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about a new application, gbom, similar to gattrib, that allows
entry of a BOM.

gbom would import attributes from a schematic and the engineer could
fill all the remaining fields, with the help of matches in a
database.

gnetlist shall merge the bom with the schematic.

The database defines what attributes are required, available, or can
be matched from the schematic.

The bom shall keep a record of the source for each attibute, to
facilitate changes, and for visual hints to the user.

The database and bom could be very similar file formats. 

Could be .sch format, actually, and with net= attributes include the
netlist.
