sci-electronics/eagle

Version 7.7.0 is the latest version using original licensing, and the only version that accepts original Cadsoft license.

Version 7 marks the end of "The" Cadsoft Eagle we all know and love, and is inherently incompatible with Autodesk Eagle, which at this point is simply a diffrent product.

There are many arguments for keeping version 7 separate, but the most important one is that simply, updating beyond 7.7.0 invalidates the license, even the purchase-to-own lifetime license.



Therefore, upgrading above 7.7.0 breaks this package.

Reproducible: Always
