Hi John,

> I did not know Debian changed their version of opencascade

There are two versions of OpenCASCADE in Debian, named 'liboce' and
'libocct'.  'occt' is the upstream variant, 'oce' is the community
maintained variant.  Historically, Debian has switched between the two
as licence requirements dictated.  

Currently, both are packaged and FreeCAD version 0.17 depends on
liboce.  However, libocct is being more actively maintained and I
believe the intention for Debian FreeCAD version 0.18 is for the
dependency to switch to libocct.

Best regards,

Paul.

Hi John,

This is good news indeed for Guix-using engineers and architects.  I
shall follow developments with interest.

I can look after the OpenCASCADE dependency too.  This package is due
an update but upstream development has been slow of late.  Debian have
switched to the OCCT version for FreeCAD and I am thinking that it
would be best for Guix to follow suit.  This would entail the
introduction of a new opencascade-occt package, which I plan to do
soon, if no-one beats me to it!

Best regards,

Paul.

Hello everyone,

I started packaging FreeCAD in a personal channel (https://www.github.com/jsoo1/guix-channel). Has anyone already started or want to collaborate?  I’m currently working on the python Shiboken library dependency which I could use some help on. There are a few other things that need shoring up like licensing research, making other dependencies work and generally getting the thing to compile. 

All the best,

John
