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 If you see a new version in the FreeCad repository, please wait for 30 minutes before setting the package out-of-date flag.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.

This patch (applied on the aur) shall fix the error caused by the new structure of the appimage:

I run into the same problems.

Being a lazy YAY user, I jumped over this problem by supplying the missing stuff from the old installation during build:

cp -p /usr/share/applications/freecad_weekly.desktop ~/.cache/yay/freecad-weekly-appimage/src/squashfs-root
patch -p1 -R -d ~/.cache/yay/freecad-weekly-appimage/src/squashfs-root/ <  ~/.cache/yay/freecad-weekly-appimage/freecad_weekly.desktop.patch
cp ~/.cache/yay/freecad-weekly-appimage/src/squashfs-root/usr/share/mime/packages/org.freecad.FreeCAD.xml ~/.cache/yay/freecad-weekly-appimage/src/squashfs-root/usr/share/mime/packages/org.freecadweb.FreeCAD.xml

Now that I am reading this, I think I should have fixed the PKGBUILD ;-)

There is something wrong with version _33848

squashfs-root/usr/share/mime/packages/org.freecad.FreeCAD.xml can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was:

|--- squashfs-root/freecad_weekly.desktop |+++ squashfs-root/freecad_weekly.desktop

0.21RC1 has been released, but is not updating here.

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/download/0.21rc1a/FreeCAD_0.21.0-2023-07-31-conda-Linux-x86_64-py310.AppImage

@mauzil Thank you. Now it fixed.

Hi all. The PKGBUILD of 0.21_33485 downloads an aarch64 appimage file.

This is the source line of PKGBUILD source=("freecad-0.21_33485.AppImage::https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/download/weekly-builds/FreeCAD_weekly-builds-33485-2023-07-02-conda-Linux-aarch64-py310.AppImage" "freecad.sh" "freecad_weekly.desktop.patch")

Which is the correct url?

Best regards, MZ

Ok... I found it. Following github.com I get the correct appimage file

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/download/weekly-builds/FreeCAD_weekly-builds-33485-2023-07-05-conda-Linux-x86_64-py310.AppImage

It seems there's a problem with the Git URL, I'm getting this error:

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/download/weekly-builds/FreeCAD_weekly-builds-33110-2023-05-07-conda-Linux-x86_64-py311.AppImage

That URL doesn't exist anymore and it seems that the weekly-builds are now located in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/tag/weekly-builds. However, the AppImage there is old for some reason.

@snowball, thank you. It will fix in next update.

The following change is needed to make the .FCStd file type association persist:

 }

If the file is placed in /usr/share/mime/application instead of /usr/share/mime/packages, it will get overridden the next time update-mime-database is run (usually triggered by the 30-update-mime-database.hook pacman hook).

Problem of url change now fixed.
