I wrote a utility called "garchive" which is supposed to do this for
you for gschem/gaf.   It tries to figure out your symbol search path
& then creates a .tar.gz archive of all your symbols & other design
files.

It doesn't actually read your Guile configuration, so it might miss a
sym file here or there, particularly if your setup is quirky or
non-standard.  Also, it doesn't deal with pcb files, so you're SOL
as far as archiving PCB stuff goes.  Nonetheless, it tries to do what
you want it to do.

Garchive is distributed along with the rest of gEDA/gaf.  Try it out &
let me know if it works for you!

Hi,
        To use a directory structure to work with gEDA and store the
different kind of files gEDA generate (pcb files, symbols,
footprints,models, etc) seems a smart way to work, but to make the work
easier I'l like to know if there is a way  of extract the footprints and
symbols (the .sym and footprint element) from a schematic file and copy
that elements to some local directory with the purpose of be able to
share your job with all the symbols and footprints included, that way
assuring the person who's looking your schematics sees the same thing
you see ?

Thanks,

Olgierd
