Re: gEDA-user: Land Grid Array packages

[swm@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

If you are looking for a way to make gEDA footprints, there's a Python
script by Darrell Harmon that can generate PCB footprints from a simple
script.  You can change key paramaters from the script (pad size, number
of pads, etc) pretty easily.  It's also not too hard to modify the Python
code, if a script is not powerful enough.  See:
