Re: Re: Qt3 looking for adopters
There is also very impotrant package qcad (and connected qcad-doc and
partlibrary) which are not on the list of QT3 dependencies.
This program is to my knowledge the only one usable OSS CAD type progam. I use
it regularly.
PS: Sorry for late response, I don't follow debian-dev regularly, but found
this thread on internet.
