This seems fairly straightforward. You need a program that= can parse both .pcb and .sch files, and pull out the .fp and .sym files, t= hen create a .zip out of them. How hard can that be?

That's why we need a repository manage= r tool. EDA tools have traditionally assumed that the human would download = all the needed repositories beforehand and everything would be in the file = system.

That worked ten years ago but todays designs require a huge number of= repos. It is time to automate this step.

IP-Xact should have defined a framework for this but they punted on = this issue so we are left to figure it out ourselves.
