QUCS is a qt3 only application. |
| 30 |
This is a fantastic electrical simulation package and is in active developement. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
There is a svn branch for the qt4 port but it isn't there yet. |
| 33 |
Removal of qt3 will break this app that is in the main tree |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If the policy is to then remove this app (which would be a very big shame since |
| 36 |
it will mean - based upon past experience - hard to get back in) could a |
| 37 |
hard-mask live ebuild for the svn/nightly be made until the next qucs is released |
