SlopedPlanesMacro

[Kunda1]

Looks like the dev turned it in to a macro instead of a workbench.
I'm thinking about removing the workbench and adding the macro to the FreeCAD-macros repo...what do you think ?
Maybe we can set up a mirror at freecad macros for it ?

As far as i can see it is still the same as before?
https://gitlab.com/damianCaceres/slopedplanes

A combination of macro and workbench?

But when it is possible to get gitlab repositories into the addon manager, it would be good to get the code of the original author.

I haven't experimented with it yet. I'm not sure github will allow it. We may need to do a 3 way mirror

Code: Select all

gitlab -> local machine -> github

The new Addon Manager in 0.19 allows setting custom repositories, does it not? Wouldn't that work?

Good point, I forgot about that. That needs testing.
I'm not in front of my machine. If anyone is willing to test it out, let me know. Or else I can try later

Tried and it doesn't seem like the feature to add non github repos is working here.
and the addon installs but not as a workbench, just as a macro. And the macro executes but doesn't do anything, AFAICT.
Need to explore more.

What I do notice is that the addonmanager logic isn't able to pull the description from the gitlab repo.
I'll x-post this to the relevant thread soon.

Can anyone test the macro with the new repo ?

Thanks, that's odd. I didn't see anything in the report window. is there a debug flag I need to enable somewhere?
Looks like there is a readme file:
https://gitlab.com/damianCaceres/sloped ... /README.md
I also see it in my local .FreeCAD dir:

Code: Select all

~/.FreeCAD/Mod/slopedplanes/README.md

So I wonder why it can't find the README ?

I think that the reason why the SlopedPlanes macro was added through https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons rather than https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-macros was that the Addon-Manager had no support for macros over multiple files. This has been solved in the mean time, so that this macro could be moved to the official macro repository.
