Hi all,

I have error messages from apt when updating. This is related with Mod/Arch/Presets/ files.

I don't know if it brokes the whole update as I did fidlle with the perms under /usr/share/freecad-daily/Mod/Arch/Presets/ and started again the upgrade process. That didn't give a better result but then when I did copy freeCAD details I noticed the brand new date on the Info box :

0.19 Daily Build update fail

...
Seems like a packaging problem.

Yes, the main packager is looking into this at the moment. The daily package has been broken for about a month. So hold tight, in the following days and weeks you should expect to see more daily updates, maybe with errors still. If you really need to use the latest code, probably the AppImage or self compilation (CompileOnUnix) is a better option at the moment.

old TempoVis.py in recent builds

I removed those because, in my testing trying to fix the builds, I was getting errors about them not being present. There's a bug somewhere screwing with all this.

That was the idea with the distinction between freecad-runtime and freecad-common files, with freecad-runtime being meant to solely have Python files. But there's no need for that, in retrospect, so eventually I'll combine the two and just have freecad-common, I think. With 0.19 there will be a break in the binary packages, i.e. libfreecad-python3-0.18 will have its name changed, so that would be a good time to do it.
