Having the design rules imported from eagle via a python script is the way
to go IMHO. I don't see the benefit of adapting to a proprietary file
format.

Having a warning shown is a better way than not starting up at all.

I might have a look at it tomorrow.

Cheers,
Basti

Hi all,

IMHO a warning on unrecognized token while parsing files is a must - in
many cases users run nightlies to benefit from the latest features, but
board manufacturers or companies run the stable release (due to IT
restrictions or just worries about stability). Current situation makes
this difficult (see complaints on the forum...)

As for the DRU format - I wouldn't standardize on anything proprietary.
Also Eagle's design rules are somewhat simpler than what we're aiming at
in Kicad.

Tom
