Thanks for the effort, no time pressure from my side.

I just updated the 0.18.1 packaging for Debian and uploaded it, then merged those changes into the PPA branches, synced the mirrored Launchpad repo, and triggered 0.18.1 builds for the stable PPA on 16.04, 18.04, 18.10, and 19.04.

Took about 10 minutes! I'm glad I finally got the packaging repo unified at https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/freecad. I'm using this patch to force the display of the 0.18.1 version--not ideal, but we can get something better set up in master and backport it for a 0.18.2 release whenever that happens.

P.S. This has Python 3 set to default.
Like my FreeCAD work? I'd appreciate any level of support via Patreon, Liberapay, or PayPal! Read more about what I do at my blog.

Guys, we need to get our act together, these topics are becoming frequent.

Confusion about 0.18 release on website

What's holding up the Windows and Mac releases? I think we should officially announce 0.18 even if the Mac build isn't ready. We're already at 0.18.1 and no announcement was made for 0.18... :|

We should have called it 0.18.beta1 or something like this. It had some problems and therefor shouldn't be used for an announced release. (Something to remember for next year).

For conda everything should be ready at the evening (hopefully)
If people know how to work with a package-manager they can install freecad 0.18 on win64, osx, linux64 with:

Code: Select all

conda create --name freecad freecad -c conda-forge
But it was shown people are often too lazy for learning how to use a package-manager. So the other option are the appimages and dmgs (for conda-based builds). The only problem here is limited time of maintainers.

edit: corrected typo

is that a typo? "frecad freecad" the first freecad has only one "e" and should there be two "freecad" ?

I suspect the main problem with Conda is that most people have not heard of Conda, don't know what it is, how to use it, or even if using it is a good idea or not.

yes it's a typo, but this is only the name of the environment.

Hmm, maybe this is true. But I really don't want to make advertisement for conda. I just wanted to say, there is this alternative, and if people really need a 0.18.1 release it's available with conda. I will do the bundles too, but this will need some time.
