FreeCAD PPA doesn't support Ubuntu Jammy

Post by luggw1 »

I just upgraded my machine to the latest version of Linux Mint XFCE - 21, which is based on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04). When I tried to add the FreeCAD PPA, apt reported the PPA doesn't support jammy.

Is this something that's coming soon? Should I use the AppImage in the meantime?

Also, is the an approximate release date for 0.20 yet?

Thanks
Bill Lugg

The PPA is currently unmaintained and broken, use appimage, flatpak or snap instead. See https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=69055

yes, june 2022 ;) we have a bugfix 0.20.1 released already too so I recommend that: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.20.1
