Installing DraftSight 2016 Pre-Release in Gentoo Linux

Last year I posted about installing the 2015 Draftsight Free 2D CAD application in Gentoo Linux. Now a DraftSight 2016 Pre-Release is available, and it works in Gentoo. Dassault Systemes has fixed the annoying cursor lag in the 2015 Linux version. \o/

You can click on a link ‘Download DraftSight 2016 for Ubuntu (beta)’ on their Web page ‘DraftSight® FREE* CAD Software Download‘ and copy the downloaded file draftSight.deb to /usr/portage/distfiles/draftsight-1.7.0_beta.deb. Then rename the ebuild draftsight-bin-1.6.1_beta.ebuild to draftsight-bin-1.7.0_beta.ebuild in your local overlay directory /usr/local/portage/media-gfx/draftsight-bin/, but draftsight-bin-1.7.0_beta.ebuild is listed below anyway:

The files 10-ft-rockey.rules and draftsight in the directory /usr/local/portage/media-gfx/draftsight-bin/files/ can stay the same as for the previous ebuild draftsight-bin-1.6.1_beta.ebuild, but they are listed below anyway:

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="096e", MODE=="0666"

#! /bin/bash
BASEDIR="/opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${BASEDIR}${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:}${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

# work around DT_RPATH (.) security issue by chdir'ing into expected $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd "${BASEDIR}"

exec "${BASEDIR}/DraftSight" $*

Then generate the manifest as usual and merge the package.
