No new precompiled versions?

Thanks, I will do the same for win. I set up a linux box with miniconda to attempt the same. I was going to try and modify triplus' Travis script. How do you make the AppImage locally.

the appimage is created by:
- installing the appimage-tools
- and running create_bundle.sh script

I guess this should be all.

If you don't have permissions to upload to the releases page just create a release on one of your git repos and post it there and I will download/upload to the releases page.
You should be added to the maintainers group if you can't upload to the releases page.

I can do this. But if you succeed with setting things up locally it would be nice if you can upload directly. It really shouldn't be very difficult.

If Travis goes the way it looks we probably are going to need an OSX user to do the same for the .dmg

I still have the mac-mini from @chrisb. I can reactivate it to do this. If someone else is volunteering to do this job I am happy to concentrate on other things.

BTW: Why did you temporarily disable external SMESH on conda?

It was a test, how best to proceed. I am currently testing freecad with the new smesh 9.6 library from @trelau which has netgen directly included. I first thought this is not a very good idea, but actually it makes maintainance easier so it's the right way to proceed.
I am working on this branch here:
https://github.com/looooo/freecad-feeds ... /vtk9-test

Still a lot of things have to be done, but there are already py3.8 / py3.9 builds available from freecad/label/dev channel.

OK, hopefully I'll have time to try and build the AppImage locally this weekend.

There is at least one user using Conda directly on OSX, it's in one of the Big_Sur threads. I'll find it and reach out to see if they would like to join the team.

Thanks, I will test for sure.

Thanks for all your work!

Thanks guys for doing this for the community.

Is it complicated to post a torrent file to Github and edit the Readme with the releases to point there? Or contact the people who create the Fosshub torrents>

I don't know if github releases page will allow a .torrent.
If you have a file I don't mind testing.

Here is a torrent file. I added the trackers from a Fosstorrents FreeCAD torrent file but I am not sure if that will work. Should work through DHT thou. Can you try downloading to a separate location with that torrent file?

I uploaded an appimage to:
https://github.com/looooo/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19-pre

if you have conda installed this script should work:

utils:

Code: Select all

wget "https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/0.18/FreeCAD.0_18.Offline.Doc.7z"
7z x FreeCAD.0_18.Offline.Doc.7z
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AppImage/AppImages/master/pkg2appimage
wget "https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/download/continuous/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage"
chmod a+x appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage

appimage-creation

Code: Select all

cd conda/linux
bash ./create_bundle.sh

edit: update script

I uploaded an appimage to:

I copied the files to the releases page.

Should I run the script from an active environment?

running from base environment should do.

The latest AppImage is 162 MB smaller than the previous version. What has changed that the difference is so big?

Was wondering this myself
