Re: gEDA-user: Yet another netlister

["A.Burinskiy" <alexbour@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

No doubt, we need someone to identify week and strong parts of various 
netlisters and choose one-two for support. As to me, I was trying 
gnetlist and spnet (I was unaware of gnetman). Non of them did worked 
fine for me. That was a reason I wrote netlister for myself, then 
consider that it will be good to offer it for community. Yes, it will be 
pain if gschem format will be changed. And one good change is adding 
reference to library for instantiated symbols. It will stick each 
project to a particular list of libraries, as it is done in commercial 
CAD tools.

Thanks,
Alex.
