Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
could you give me a link to that location? I'm a CAD guy, I'm completely lost in the programming world.

Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
Vocx, could you be more specific about which ppa and distribution you used to get this to work. I've tried ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable and ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily with xenial and trusty and the python 3 stuff is not found.vocx wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 8:26 pm The software is split into common packages, and packages specific to your Python version.

This will be nice, but it currently gives meNormandC wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 2:21 am There is no need to remove existing packages, unless the update failed somehow. freecad-python2 and libfreecad-python2-0.18 can cohabit with their Py3 counterpart. I think it's still useful to keep both.
To switch from one to the other:
Code: Select all
sudo update-alternatives --config freecad
"There is only one alternative in link group freecad (providing /usr/bin/freecad): /usr/lib/freecad/bin/freecad-python2

Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
If you want the Python 3 version then you need to use Ubuntu 18.04 or newer.
Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
Trusty(14.04) is EOL
Xenial(16.04) is only PY2/QT4
Even for 18.04+ Kurt had to port some stuff from Debian to Ubuntu
See Here:https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintain ... cad-stable
EDIT: Kurt was faster

Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
Ok, got it. Thanks to all.
Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
Please, please, please, avoid as much as possible the code names of the software (Trusty, Xenial, etc.). I know the name when the new distribution is released, but after 6 months I completely forget which imaginary animal was used by Ubuntu this time. Actually, after 10 years of using Ubuntu I don't even learn the names any more. For me it's just 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, etc. Using the code names was cute at the beginning, but really, who cares anymore?
If you are going to mention the names at least refer to them in parentheses like this
