I don't understand all the nuances of this discussion (I'm sorry), but it seems to me that the problem is, in the case of the development version of freecad, that the sources are not published regularly. The sources were last published in 2019 (1), while freecad offers an Appimage almost every week. So building something from the sources of the development code doesn't add much value to the stable version. I must certainly be missing something, so once again sorry. Christophe (1) https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19_pre: " Note: The development binaries are built regularly (You may need to expand the assets tab) . The release date indicates the beginning of the dev cycle. The commits indicates how many commits in the dev cycle. The source archives (tar.gz and .zip) do not get updated, so they match the commit of the tag (34a083b) and are therefore obsolete.
