Please consider adding libredwg ? #6

Closed luzpaz closed 2 years ago

Hey @muflone
Would you consider adding yet another package to your list as maintainer: libredwg ? This is utilized by FreeCAD

GNU LibreDWG is a free C library to handle DWG files. It aims to be a free replacement for the OpenDWG libraries. DWG is the native file format of AutoCAD.

Current version is: v0.9 (beta)

Hi @luzpaz I currently don't use libreswg and I don't use any tool which needs it. I could try to package it but a package which needs it should be around, in order to test it and make it useful. Do you have any?

luzpaz commented 4 years ago

FreeCAD uses it as a way to import DWG files. FreeCAD is currently in the AUR

Unfortunately freecad doesn't work in my system with intel GPU. I tried to package it in the past, the build works fine but I cannot test it as it crashes for me at the startup

muflone commented 4 years ago

if you can use freecad along with libredwg I could try to package it

Yea, FC is kinda a PITA to maintain. There is a lot of work on the dependency and packaging. GPU issues usually require update or downgrade of driver.

Yes, and others will also benefit, so thank you!
