Re: gEDA-user: Schematic Level DRC DIscussion

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the official geda version I don't.

In my stuff. Yep, heavily.

I have scripts for loading existing nets lists into the eda library,
other scripts for modifing the net based upon eco reports from pads. 

I am currently working on replacing the reading/writting of schematics
and symbols with guile scripts. 

>From my perspective this will allow a non-gui application to do every
thing from translate files, update files (version changes), implment
back anotation, run rule based design checks and generate net lists
(flat or hierarchical) vhdl or spice.
