QCad being removed from Debian
Hello all,
This is just an announcement that qcad is being removed from debian
wheezy for depending on qt3 libraries [1] and from wheezy, squeeze,
and lenny for containing non-distributable files [2]. Similarly,
"partlibrary" will be removed for having non-distributable files [3].
Per our discussions last year [4], qcad in unstable and testing/wheezy
will be a transitional package recommending librecad, the community
maintained qt4 port of LibreCAD. LibreCAD will be backported to
squeeze to give users an alternative to qcad.
Cheers,
Scott
