I'd prefer if inheritance was overridable, so I could rename Vdd to names such as 20V, 16V, 24V, 1.7V, 3.3V, 20V_IN, etc -- all with one library symbol for +/- and one for ground.

You can't simply disable it (and even if you could, you would still have to set graphical=1). That might still be needed. Will check soon.

There was a double T1 naming even if the slots mention was useless, and I corrected it, and the error list got shorter. geda-gaf master didn't show those drc errors, probably since it reported lots of U? problems with my modified power symbols and made no output.net drc2 listing, only messages to stdout. I apologize for not posting the whole error message file, but I had already worked past it as I'm working on a OSHW project with git, so I tidied that up before committing more work to the repo. >> and they were helpful for fixing errors and debugging and ruling out things. > > In what way were they helpful? output.net drc2 listing was there. > > How should the error messages have been in order to be more helpful? output.net drc2 listing + some way to mention symbols by name that have problems. I'll not be able to switch back to using geda-gaf master until back from a big trip in March/April because of deadline pressure. (unless geda-gaf 1.9 branch is broken really badly in a way I have not hit yet) So others please test the recent changes -- I won't be testing.
