AppImages run quite well, and I could trust on the separation of environment. I have six version of FreeCAD two for each release one with English and one with Italian as language settings. master pulled in from repository (The FreeCAD developer that is contributing even something to Arch Linux FreeCAD package.) Plus I start most of my FreeCAD version with bash scripts that use a separate 'user directory' for every install so I could have some flexibility. I agree, I have already two Appimages one for 0.20.2 and one for 0.21.0 (stable) plus the 0.22. About chaotic-aur is interesting to know, but my FreeCAD git is made by a FreeCAD maintainer and as I'm collaborating in FreeCAD development (not a developer, but I have some projects undergoing) I prefer to use his version. if there will be a way to have these packages in Artix it will be very hand, as FreeCAD is not an exotic package.

now I have around twenty packges pulled manually from arch linux repo plus a couple build from AUR, so it is less complicated, as every package is pulled from artix repo. This has made a nightmare to have a smooth run, as from time to time, installation wil became broken due to incompatibilities in between upgrades and sync between arch versions and artix versions. I was used to do such thing, but after experimenting a little with some packages I ended up with arch repositories enabled to have bunch of packages pulled from arch extra instead of artix world. Quote from: suren – on 02 September 2023, 12:27:41 I as well use FreeCAD-git. Most probably same packages are required for freecad that is also lacking from Artix Linux What is the procedure to request the insertion of these packages in the Artix Linux? Or as an alternative there is some ways to install these packages from Arch Linux repositories not polluting Artix Linux without having to installed them by hand and check manually for updates? Kind Regards Carlo D. I have had some difficulties, as some packages are not available on Artix Linux: - opencascade > freeimage > jxrlib - med-openmpi (community) > hdf5-openmpi - python-pivy > soqt > coin - libspnav freecad-git is from a FreeCAD developer repository that will compile it every couple of days to be in sync with FreeCAD development and after having these packages installed it work as expected, pulling all the remaining packages from Artix Linux repositories. Hello, I'm trying to install freecad development version on Artix Linux while keeping Artix Linux clean from Arch Linux packages.

For windows instal FreeCAD 0.21.1
