Re: Installation location on gentoo linux
My plan is to re-add it to the main tree. This doesn't make much sense IMHO as long as 0.18 isn't released. It's unlikely that gentoo devs would accept a package with only a live ebuild. And the release of 0.18 would be a goot point to start getting it back into the tree.
Some prerequisite work for this has already been done, like coin-4 unmasked, current opencascade-7.3.0 added to the tree, updated and current shiboken and pyside are currently tested in qt-overlay and prepared for inclusion in the main tree.
It didn't work out. See earlier posts on this thread for this. This would require changes to freecad source code, as it looks for the Ext files in a specific location. If you find a sane and clean way to move the files from /usr/lib/freecad/Mod to the python site-packages dir, you are welcome to make a PR against my overlay.
