Hello Everyone
I was gong through QUCS download webpage and noted that it links to an
extremely outdated webpage for fedora rpms. FEL does have up to date
binaries for QUCS but they are downloadable from a webpage. it would be nice
if there was a webpage with links to these binaries and we can send that
link to ALL the electronics packages that are part of FEL. This should boast
exposure of FEL

First qucs is available under fedora repositories, since Fedora Core 3
as suggested by
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/qucs
As a rule of thumb, we should avoid linking to third parties website
1. Fedora Legal does not like it
2. Security reasons of the targetted software
3. Maintenance of wiki pages/manpower will be required, to verifiy if
materials are removed from the linked page
If a software is missing under the Fedora umbrella, ask some on the
fedora-devel mailing list to package it. If it is FEL related, file a
ticket :)

I'm asking for Qucs to link to FEL. So users on Qucs download page should be
directed to FEL page and be able to download binary packages of Qucs for any
version of Fedora. These packages are maintained by Fedora and not Qucs
Or just ask Qucs to include instructions on how to install Qucs on fedora
"yum install qucs" instead of directing users to an outdated page that
doesn't even exist.

Sorry, I misunderstood. You are right. We should kindly instead ask
them to simply update their website with the following information :
