Also as part of this update, I have removed the example plugins that do nothing (as
on the QCAD forum, the author states that these may slow down the operation)
QCAD has been largely rewritten since the previous version
(QCAD 2) was updated in pkgsrc, meaning that the changes are
vast. From the authors website:
QCAD 3 comes with a new and improved CAD engine which improves
performance (spatial index) and allows for advanced property
editing and future extensions (dynamic properties). The other
major addition is a powerful and complete ECMAScript interface.
New interactive tools can be developed with a few lines of
ECMAScript but even entire new applications can be developed
using QCAD technology. QCAD 3 is also the first QCAD version
that fully supports the DWG format as well as various different
versions of the DXF format.

Problems found with existing distfile for eagle:
distfiles/eagle-lin32-7.4.0.run
No changes made to eagle/distinfo file.
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
1.5.4 release was something of a toy, QCad was thoroughly reworked for 2.0
and could now be called usable for many practical purposes.
Versions 2.0.4.0 (initially) to 2.0.5.0 have been usable in wip for a bit
more than a year, and so seem ready to import.
"Yes, that should be fine. Please watch the bulk builds for it and
try to fix any problems that might appear." -wiz@
Updates to pkglint now produce some new suggestions, which I will make and
commit after confirming they don't break anything; at least this version I
already know to build successfully for me.
to ${X11BASE} in the header and library search paths into references to
${LOCALBASE}/share/x11-links. These packages should now be strongly-
buildlinked regardless of whether xpkgwedge is installed.
Changes well-tested on NetBSD-1.5X/i386 with and without xpkgwedge and
lightly-tested on NetBSD-1.5.1/alpha without xpkgwedge.
