I build FreeCAD from master using python@3.9 and did not encounter any problems. Are there any references to issues or bugs or any other explanation on these? Wouldn't it make more sense to mostly rely on the homebrew core provided bottles to reduce points of necessary maintenance?
Maybe someone can help me in understanding. I ping @ipatch here as well, as he has written the latest commits on the freecad-homebrew repo.
