I would think of this as very important to allow gEDA to keep productive,
I used it now for several smaller projects and had everytime minor
problems with the board. Once there was a wron polarity of a diode (this
problem was already mentioned), once I accidentially placed a component
in a wrong package (16 instead of 14 pins, nasty, I know), etc. In the
end I asked myself if I was willing to buy some other framework or
continue working with gEDA as it is rigid and cumbersome in quite many
cases where you have to check everything manually.
When I started making my own library it got better as I knew what I did...
Thus I would be interested if you started a "new" library project to
merge in custom parts.
If I could help, please tell me.
But I would suggest something more:
Why not putting all availabe symbols in the library?
I mean put the basic symbols that everybody might need into the main
part of it. Then one could add additional directories (?) or something
similar) to put specialized packages etc in. This would allow for
advanced users to get things running faster if everything is consistent
(which is the main problem in the whole library issue).
I am not a friend of throwing things away :-)
