Any progress on this? Sorry to be annoying but we're just a bit tired of users coming to the forums with old versions of FreeCAD because their distros aren't up to date.

Any news about this? I can see on madb.mageia.org that the current version on Cauldron is still freecad-0.16.6712-3.mga7.x86_64.rpm

(In reply to José Jorge from comment #6) > Stig is working on it, it needs some new libs AFAIK... Ok, cool! :-)
(In reply to José Jorge from comment #6) > Stig is working on it, it needs some new libs AFAIK... Quick favor, if it's not too much trouble if stig could mention what libs he/she is updating. I'm tracking them as well and would like to notate that.
How is Stig doing? Any specific roadblocks ?

FWIW the appimage of FreeCAD seem to run nicely. I used 0.17 last spring on mga6, and recently tested some 0.18 briefly OK on mga6. So if users need a recent version now, tell them to use Appimage and point them to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Ways_to_install_programs#Appimage

Stig, I am also progressing on this package. I will try to polish the spec file for tomorrow and give it here if it builds. FYI, I toke the Fedora SPEC file, and get the idea of using the embedded PyCXX version.. Unfortunately, this is not enough to build 100% on Mageia, but the remaining problems look simple to fix. I will also try to add 0.18-pre SPEC file version. Regards

It's possible to switch freecad on qt5. It was done by OpenMandriva, OpenSuse, Debian.

There was a soft 0.18 release
So now latest freecad 0.18 is available on Cauldron!
Nice! link please
Backport to mga6?

backport please
FWIW appimage works, except plugins is not supported then Are plugins supported in an install made using Mageia rpm ?
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #21) > Are plugins supported in an install made using Mageia rpm ? What plugins? Do you mean Addons ? This ticket can be closed IMHO since Mageia 7 and Cauldron support v18.2
Then closed!
