FreeCAD

[kjur]

It would be great if you can FreeCAD to your repo.

FreeCAD developers only release AppImage version for last year or so.

There is PPA FreeCAD repo ( https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintainers/+archive/ubuntu/freecad-stable ), but it's unmaintained for almost a year now.

There is a brand new version just release today (0.21.0), but no deb package is available :(

Hi!

I have released FreeCAD 0.20.2 on Ubuntu jammy. The same is already present on Ubuntu lunar.

The package is now on the list, so it won't be forgotten. Once I find the time, I will try to release the latest version as well.

Cheers!

Hi,
Many thanks for that.
However as you said 0.20.2 is already in Ubuntu repo.
The newest is v0.21 which includes many improvements comparing to 0.20.2.
If you could add the latest version to xtradeb lunar repo that would be fantastic.

I tend to keep all my packages updated. I expect it to happen in the coming
weeks.

Unfortunately, this package has a lot of additional (deban) patches. I need
to take some time to review them and test the adjustments I did to make it
work with the latest version.

Best regards,
Jhonny Oliveira
