External program dia is going away

[Yokota K.]

Dear list,

Sorry for a subsequent post of an offer.  Mac's app manager Homebrew recently began to say that the external program dia for diagram is going away:

> dia: 0.97.2,7
> http://dia-installer.de/
> Deprecated because it is discontinued upstream! it will be disabled on 2024-12-17.

So, recently I started to use draw.io <http://draw.io/> (https://www.drawio.com/) as an alternative with attached external template and I’m wondering how about using it as a substitution.

Draw.io offers standalone application as well as online diagram editing. The template uses the standalone version. Included patch for configure.py may be a little awkward for Mac as it searches for a command line program within the contents of the application package. I hope if someone could improve it.
