Hi. The script automatically checks for new versions every half hour. If you see a new version in the FreeCad repository, please wait for 30 minutes before setting the package out-of-date flag. Thanks you.

@BurntVoxel i can't help you with compilation. Please visit the official project forum.

I can't get it to compile as of version 1.1.0_41736-1. "error making: freecad-weekly-appimage-exit status 4: this doesn't look like a squashfs image".

@Genues thanks. It appears to be working now.

I fixed conflict with adwaita-icon-theme. Please check it.

Looks like the latest AppImage comes with all the default icons for GNOME which conflicts with existing files. My workaround is copying only the FC icon files one by one instead of recursively copying the whole icons folder.

The latest build appears to be failing as it's trying to write a whole bunch of icons in /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/ that are owned by adwaita-icon-theme

Hi, Freecad broken after last update:

(qt.qpa.plugin) Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""

(qt.qpa.plugin) Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

@dasarne I have no problem launching the app. I do not know how I can help you.

Hello,

I've encountered an issue with the current freecad-weekly-appimage package. Upon attempting to install, I receive the following error:

Squashfs image uses (null) compression, this version supports only xz, zlib.

This issue is due to a recent switch in the FreeCAD AppImage from xz to zstd compression, which the Arch Linux AppImageLauncher currently does not support. This change has led to incompatibility, making the AppImage unusable in its current form.

There’s an open issue with the FreeCAD AppImage maintainers regarding this problem, which you can find here: FreeCAD Issue #331.

Could the package be updated, or a workaround provided until this compatibility issue is resolved?
