Does anyone know if dia is going to be released into EPEL7? If it is not, is there an equivalent application for simple diagramming? Thanks

I just this minute downloaded and compiled dia-0.97.3-1.fc22.src.rpm from the Fedora 22 repo on Centos 7 and it appeared to work fine. And it took, literally, about a minute to do.
So you can do that too if you want.
There are six dia sub-packages also available there, CMOS, Digital, electric2, electronic, gnomeDIAicons and optics. I didn't bother to try compiling those but I don't see why it would be any more difficult to do.

Thanks, I'll try that. If I may ask a small favour though, do you have alink? I've Googled for the source RPM and can only find it on third party websites; I'd prefer to go to Fedora directly if possible.
I notice that pkgs.org have a binary RPM, would that work or do you advice pulling down the source and recompiling?
Thanks again, Martin

I got it from here:
ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/fedora/linux/releases/22/Everything/source/SRPMS/d/dia-0.97.3-1.fc22.src.rpm

You're probably better off compiling it yourself.
I've added dia to my repo nux-dextop.
BTW LibreOffice Draw can be used as well (with the added bonus that it can also do Visio files AFAIK).

Thanks for all your assistance gents. I've downloaded dia and the extra libraries from nux-dextop.
I also considered LibreOffice-Draw, Inkscape and LibreCAD. Dia just seemed to fit what I was doing best. I'm generating simple schematics of datacentre mains switchgear. I need to ensure compatibility with C6 and C7 machines and some of those machines have no internet connection, so no Google anything.
Once again, many thanks for such prompt and useful assistance. Martin

I like Inkscape. or for simple line drawings, google draw, which is a cloud thing in the web so it makes it super easy to share drawings
