Re: Volunteer Packagers Needed for the PPA

The mere fact that the package has been broken for months but still nobody seems to understand how the process actually works or how it may be fixed suggest it's not that polished or very well integrated. The Debian packaging process is extremely well documented by the Debian people. There is also ...

Re: Volunteer Packagers Needed for the PPA

Hi, As I understand it, the Launchpad processing provides both the PPA and the packages that are used in Debian based distributions other than Ubuntu. Not exactly. Kurt centralized the Debian packaging for both the Launchpad PPA and the official Debian package on Salsa, which is the official Debian ...

Re: Volunteer Packagers Needed for the PPA

Whatever Yorik and you end up deciding, please don't delete the PPAs (stable and daily) altogether. If you come up to this decision, I'd like to be advised first. I'm not making any promises, but I may try to look into it in the coming months if nobody steps in. For now, cycling season is not over y...

Re: [Tip] FreeCAD does square helices!

you can manually migrate a DWire inside a PartDesign Body (at least you could 3 years ago?) Thanks for pointing this out. This behavior is actually relatively new. It is not possible in V0.18. I thought this was possible in V0.18 already, but I can't be sure. I tried with 0.21, and the only object ...

Re: Partially filling a 'loft'

[*]create PartDesign Plane s perpendicular to those lines (DatumPlane and DatumPlane001); For a single sketch you may also consider to attach it directly to the construction sketch. Unless it has improved in the past 3 years, creating a datum plane is simpler than attaching the sketch directly. For...

Re: Volunteer Packagers Needed for the PPA

At t...

Re: Volunteer Packagers Needed for the PPA

Well that's a dispiriting read. Snaps may be great for maintainers, but they absolutely suck for end users. Whomever said earlier in this topic "everybody love snaps", I don't know in what alternate universe you're living in. There are so many people driven off from Ubuntu at each release ...

Re: FreeCAD looks for a new default background color

Hello, Now that's a complicated, potentially conflictual topic, nearly as much as the FreeCAD logo... ;) Some history, if anyone cares about it. The FreeCAD default background colour dates back from its early days, nearly 20 years ago. Juergen Riegel (FreeCAD's founder) based it on CATIA's, which he...

Re: Partially filling a 'loft'

Thanks very much for the suggestions. The 'revolve' solution will definitely help with the outer holes so I just need to give some thought about how to apply your suggestion to pad in different directions for the inner holes. Hi, Your use of the "Pad" term seems to suggest you're using th...
