I also just realized that, given that this is a GUI app, I should probably have the script add it to menus and such. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Maybe add a short description and a full longDescription?
DraftSight is "a professional-grade 2D design and drafting solution that lets you create, edit, view and markup any kind of 2D drawing." It is available as a binary .deb package for Linux. This package jumps through the necessary hoops to make it run properly.

Motivation for this change
I'm unaware of any other decent-quality CAD package in Nixpkgs. This adds a package for DraftSight, "a professional-grade 2D design and drafting solution that lets you create, edit, view and markup any kind of 2D drawing." from Dassault Systèmes that is basically a clone of AutoCAD.
It is available as a binary .deb package for Linux. This package jumps through the necessary hoops to make it run properly.
I know
requireFileis frowned upon, but I don't know what else to do here. The package is ~500 MB and is available through clicking the license agreement, and while I could probably determine the actual URL and hotlink to it, that would involve bypassing the license agreement.Things done
