Re: appimage
It is one thing building it and another to package it in a set of .deb packages. It's not rocket science but nonetheless the latter is a bit harder to achieve.
P.S. And i agree some solution will hopefully emerge we will be able to use to progress things by the time FreeCAD 0.17 is released.

Re: appimage
Agreed. I also think @probono's AppImage work is awesome progress already...

I'll be honest: I thought I could work on this, but I'm missing essential bash script knowledge, and my debian packaging knowledge remains limited. Plus after 4 years of dealing with the PPA I came to the conclusion that I am really, *really* fed up with packaging. I started that topic because nothing was happening with Ubuntu while Windows and Mac were already using OCCT 7 for some time. After some activity and some help from others, the effort died down. I don't have the motivation to fire it back up on my own.

Is something blocking the FreeCAD AppImage from being linked on the Donwloads page where users might actually have a chance to find it?

If somebody fluent in editing Wiki will read this hopefully it will get sorted out. If not i will open separate thread in the Wiki forum sub-section in the future. You are correct it should be listed.
P.S. I made a dedicated thread here and hopefully this will get sorted out soon:

Re: appimage
Hi @probono.
One of our Wiki experts @renatorivo resolved this with style. Now AppImage is first class citizen on the Download page:
https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=Download
P.S. Are you OK with us using the AppImage logo for this purpose?

Re: appimage
Excellent, thank you very much. Sure you may use the AppImage icon.

Well the next step is to upload AppImages of 0.17_pre on Github!

Re: appimage
Hello,
Last week I tried to build an AppImage of freecad-daily. The AppImage binary is created, but when I launch it I get this error:
