Awesome!
Would you have any interest in packaging IfcOpenshell? or teach me how to to it? https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 2&start=10

Sounds good to me! Just wait til I get done with my packaging wishlist, some of these engineering softwares will be very welcome additions to the FreeCAD ecosystem.

IfcOpenShell package available on Community Extras PPA

Post by kkremitzki »

Per the title, an experimental IfcOpenShell package is now available for Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04. I posted this in the IFC subsection of the Arch development forum but figured this might get more eyes.

Currently the package uploaded is Python 3 only as I can't quite get simultaneous 2 & 3 builds working.

I updated the package to build Python 2 only instead, and as a result it now builds on Ubuntu 14.04 as well.

Gmsh 4 package available on Community Extras PPA (Bionic Only)

Post by kkremitzki »

Finally finished my Gmsh 4 package. The builds just failed for Xenial and it looks like it an issue in libcgns-dev which may not be straightforward to fix. So, maybe 18.04 only.
