gEDA-user: taking issue with Symbol creation

[phil <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our wiki states:

"All pins should have a pair of attributes attached to them: pinseq=# 
and pinnumber=#. The first attribute, pinseq=# is just a sequence number 
and increments sequentially starting at 1. The second attribute 
pinnumber=# is the number of the pin. When a symbol is netlisted, the 
pin numbers are output in order of pin sequence. The pin number can be 
alphanumeric (i.e. like E or C)."


Can anyone help me figure out what that actually means?  Up to this 
point I have always just given the pinseq and pinnumber the same 
attribute (always the actual pin number(!)) to avoid confusion on my 
part ... but I would like to know what is going on here.

I know we go over this like once a year, but I am willing to fix up the 
wiki to get it straight if someone can lend me some mental clarity.

Thank you, Phil
