Thanks for posting your createPCB.sh script.  I have a question,
though: why do you use pcb -x bom to create the BOM instead of using
gnetlist on the .sch file?  The gnetlist option allows much more detail
in the BOM since you can use the 'attribs' file to customize the data
and include fields such as âmanufacturer_partnumâ, âcommentâ, etc.
Is there some benefit to using pcb for the BOM that I am missing?

Regards,
Colin
