My section of gedasymbols contains a subsection that tries to deliver
just that -- The "Essential gEDA Library"
http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/kaimartin_knaak/essential/essential.html
This is a set of symbols and footprints for the most common
components. It is meant to work out of the box. That is, all symbols
contain a footprint attribute. The footprint attributes all point to
footprints that are in the essential lib. There is no reference to the
default library or any other third party lib.
These symbols and footprints are intended as examples for good
practice. Therefore, the symbols include a few attributes which are
technically not necessary but desirable nonetheless. E.g. the author,
licenses, or a symversion.
The essential lib is a subset of the library I work with on a daily
basis. So they are all vetted in real world projects -- I eat my own
dog food ;-)
Please take a look at the selection. Do you miss something essential?
(The connector section still needs to be populated. I am not decided
yet. What connectors are "essential"? Pin headers? BNC? SubD? RJ45?)
Comments welcome.
