gEDA-dev: Broken slotting

[Peter Clifton]

Hi,

I've discovered some details of slotting are broken in the latest
release.

If you have a slotted component, it is possible to set a slot=n
attribute - and the component's pin numbers update.

If I have said component with slot=1, and I change to slot=n (n != 1), I
see a pin number update. Once I have slot=n (n !=1), no further updates
to the slot= attribute have any effect on the pin numbers.


The log window ends up with many:

component missing pinseq= attribute


Back-tracking through the history, I've identified the issues stem from
the following commit:

commit 3e94fd2c2b34e6daa5f3f315b61e8af62c48bdfc
Author: Stuart Brorson <sdb at cloud9.net>

    Made changes required to enable searching slotted parts by pinseq (for
    gnetlist).


The code changes are quite large though:

Its not obvious what broke it.
