I do not see a reason against DVCS. But one likes emacs another one vim. There is no reason for flamewar :) I suggested git because there is github and we could easily start a project there - everyone with not so much git-commandline experience could also contribute. If there is a similar service for SVN I would agree. If you are completely against a VCS (git, svn, csv, etc.) then I see no way. Even the libraries on gedasymbols.org (which really is a treasurebox) are managed via CVS: http://www.gedasymbols.org/cvs.html You just type three lines into the bash and get additional hundreds of footprints and symbols ... If you configure PCB correctly you can even browse and view through them. I tought of combining the existing libraries and the gedasymbols.org resource into a new structured library. greets, Bernhard On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 8:28 AM, wrote: > > > On Wed, 18 Mar 2015, Bernhard Kraft wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 4:20 AM, wrote: >> >>> I think, at some point, it's be a real major step forward if the standard >>> lib could be separated from gschem and pcb into a standalone package. >> >> >> I would say: >> * Lets start a project at github. >> * There we import the current structure from /usr/share/pcb >> (debian/ubuntu) and create a subdirectory "structured". >> * If someone wants to help out he/she can post suggestions/pull requests >> * There we discuss and move (copy?) all components as required. >> * Because we are in the world of open source we can just create our >> own package and make it available at debian/ubuntu launchpad >> >> Are you familiar with git? > > > Sorry, git is a show stopper for me - there is no way I can be talked into > using it. > > Regards, > > Igor2 >
