The latest Fedora packaging news: Richard's FreeCAD 0.12 RPM from RPMFusion has been rebuilt against git HEAD from a few days ago. The package is available in the Zultron CAD/CAM Bleeding repositories. See the announcement here: http://www.zultron.com/2012/07/new-rpm-repo-zultron-cadcam-bleeding-and...

Great kudos to Richard! I watched much of the process of Richard's work getting the FreeCAD + dependent RPMs through Fedora and RPMFusion official packaging procedures in very quick time. He was also very generous with his time and encouragement for me as he led me through the Fedora packing process...

I found the problem with FreeCAD compiled against the Fedora/RPMFusion repos. Not OCE after all. Looks like the new zipios++ package somehow got an older version of the tarball. It'll be an easy fix, just plop in a new tarball. There's a bug report here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8...

Finally back to FreeCAD after revamping my repo mirroring system, whew. Still trying to solve the problems I encountered in my previous message. In the mean time, does anyone know why the '-dfsg' tarball not contain the step files from the Idf module? I understand why it doesn't bundle zipios++ etc....

Hi folks, I'm working on updating my Fedora repos (they're not working yet, despite what the instructions say). Dropping my Pivy/zipios++/OpenCASCADE packages in favor of Richard Shaw's nice work in RPM Fusion is one goal. I've had a number of requests for fc17 packages, another goal (it will be ano...

Found the other thread: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2514&p=18763#p18763 Congrats, Richard! I may have to ask for pointers from you in a while. I almost have EMC2 running on the PREEMPT_RT kernel and of course aim to package it for Fedora. I'll definitely need expert advic...

Both zipios++ and pivy are accepted into Fedora. zipios++ has already started hitting the testing repositories and I'm building pivy now. You're awesome. I ran your package through koji and was about to publish it to my repo when I had an important disk crash, and it's taken me until now to get bac...

Ok, getting a little closer. I was going to the package getting it ready for submission when I realized that the Source0: URL doesn't actually exist. Since it appeared that the source actually came from Debian (it's the only place I could find a reference to a version 0.1.5.9) I used their source e...

freecad-0.12.5284 needs some patching for me to build it on fedora The QSharedPointer fixes a crash with the About FreeCAD dialog. It's been fixed in git. Nice, I never fixed that About FreeCAD crash. Was it the one-liner to CommandStd.cpp that fixed it? I had the same patch to GLImageBox.h in my p...

I'm just using a straight svn checkout. I'm using cmake, not scons if it makes a difference. There's definitely no logic in the cmake build for detecting external zipios++. Ah, yes, here's the download page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/files/FreeCAD%20Source/ And strangely, although I...
