Very nice Vladimir,

I have one that could possible be included:

 http://turkos.aspodata.se/git/openhw/share/pcb/gen.pl

to

 http://wiki.geda-project.org/pcb:footprint_generators

to use it you have to read and modify the code to your liking...

///

In http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb_footprints under
"Footprint basics" / "For writing footprints in text, refer to:"
the link "Footprints wiki page" refers to the same page as you are 
viewing.
 Perhaps one should just remove the line.

///

(same page)

"PCB Footprint FAQ" / "How do I make a 2-sided pad?"

 You do it by makeing two pads at the same position and same pin number,
 but the second one with the flag "onsolder". Like in:

   Pad[ 10mm -3mm  10mm 3mm  2.0mm 0.5mm 0.2mm "1" "1" "square" ]
   Pad[ 10mm -3mm  10mm 3mm  2.0mm 0.5mm 0.2mm "1" "1" "square,onsolder" ]

"Edge Connectors"

 Do a 2-sided pad as above. If you want the shape of the connector pad 
 to be square at the edge end and halfround at the pcb-iteriour end, use 
 two owerlapping pads per side, Like in:

   Pad[  0   -3mm   0   3mm  2.0mm 0.5mm 0.2mm "1" "1" "square" ]
   Pad[  0   -3mm   0   5mm  2.0mm 0.5mm 0.2mm "1" "1" "" ]

   Pad[  0   -3mm   0   3mm  2.0mm 0.5mm 0.2mm "1" "1" "square,onsolder" ]
   Pad[  0   -3mm   0   5mm  2.0mm 0.5mm 0.2mm "1" "1" "onsolder" ]

///

http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb_tips, section 
"Footprint issues" should be moved to
http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb_footprints, or what do you think ?

Regards,
/Karl Hammar
