Hi,

since Debian removed QCad from their repositories [1], it seems that QCad 2
users now have to compile QCad themselves or switch to librecad. [2]

Unfortunately, librecad is currently unusable for me: All icons have
changed, and seem to have been mirrored(!), turned to extremely-ugly
neon-green(!) and then partly obfuscated. Is there a reason why you
did not use the original icons? QCad2 was released under GPL, and I did
not find any special license for the icons.

(Since the icons are *really* annoying, I will probably replace them by
the original icons before using/testing librecad, but I would prefer the
official librecad-version also gets usable icons...)


regards
Roland


[1] Unfortunately, Debian also deleted the (perfectly working) QCad 2
from Squeeze!! I of course understand that they removed it from Wheezy,
since Wheezy does not contain Qt3 anymore. But I will never understand why
they also removed it from *stable* (Squeeze), although it was perfectly
working, and so intentionally broke working installations.... *wtf?*
Such behaviour would be a good reason to use a different distribution...

[2] Btw, QCad 3 is *extremely slow* on older systems, and so it's no
alternative to QCad 2.
