I am not saying anything---I am asking this question to find out what are the relative merits of both projects, since their web pages do not directly make such comparisons.On 12/09/2016 08:43 PM, Przemek Klosowski wrote:On 12/06/2016 08:25 AM, Antonio Trande wrote:This is an un-retiring request for QCad on Fedora (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/qcad/). Now upstream provides an open-source community edition version of QCadCould you comment on the current relationship of QCad to its fork LibreCAD, available in Fedora from librecad.org? I believe librecad was forked for licensing and/or maintenance issues, so I am glad to hear that moved forward, but can you give some background on where the situation stands now as to the relative merits of both projects?Are you saying that QCad cannot be easily maintained on Fedora? Current relationship of QCad to its fork LibreCAD is not a pertinent matter to the packaging for me. The reason why I'm asking is that I believe that in general FOSS projects should fork as little as possible, and merge as much as possible, to avoid duplication of effort. There are circumstances where the fork is the only solution, of course, and I am asking what are the circumstances in this case. Greetings p |
