Dear John, This is a question probably better asked on debian-user mailing list rather than debian-project which is used for formal announcements. Kicad, freecad, mercurial, gmsh are all currently available in Debian 8 (jessie). Qucs is not available as far as I can see - the upstream project website has details of a possible maintainer to contact, however. Copying directly to you - against the normal ettiquette of Debian lists - because I'm unsure whether you are subscribed to the list. All the very best, Andy C. amaca...@debian.org > John Klinvex > Electrical Engineer > profjo...@gmail.com
