FreeCAD-addon Inclusion

Post by jmwright »

A user just mentioned the FreeCAD-addons repo (https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons) to me, and the readme points me here to the forum. I maintain a scripting workbench for FreeCAD, and I wanted to see what was involved in getting it included.

It's already there cadquery-module, the addons-installer finds it and installs it but there is a directory structure problem. The module is in the CadQuery sub directory of cadquery_module directory, so FreeCAD can't find it after installation.

@sgrogan I've restructured the CadQuery module's repo so that it should work with the FreeCAD-addon system. The changes are in the latest commit in master.

Please let me know if I need to do anything else.
