RE: gEDA-dev: SoC: Gerber, DRC, gsch2pcb and D-BUS
Hi all,
I'm following this SoC-discussion for some time now.
The impression I'm getting is that IMHO it would be a good thing to
prioritize the SoC projects, that is, besides the dificulty= attribute
one should add a priority= attribute to visualize the need for the
geda-suite (from the developer community view point).
In other words, is the mentioned Soc-project adding a new functionality
or is it an improvement of existing functionality for the geda-suite.
The Student's time is precious and the time spent should benefit the
student in his/her further career, so the Soc-project undertaken should
be noted as a major step forward for the geda community (for users and
developers) as to generate career opportunities for the Student.
I know how important it is for a Student to be asked by an employer if
he/she would like to apply for a job at his company, work is so much
more fun if you're asked for to do the job, not to ask if you may do the
job.
Just my EUR 0.02.
Kind regards,
Bert Timmerman.

I understand that, but the link between schematic and simulation
now is essentially nonfunctional. Having a translator that
works and is complete opens up new capability way beyond what
we have now.
PCB and gschem both work, and do a good job, until you see how
the whole system fits together.
NGspice and gnucap also both work, but the translation only
supports part of what is common to both, a little of the extra
capability of ngspice, none of the extra capability gnucap has
now, and none of the extra capability gnucap will have soon.
That's why people stick to PSpice and LT-spice.
