Not a priority but the snap package icon looks low resolution with artifacts. Let me know if I can help there. The logo on the wiki (SVG) looks fine though.

I'm still trying to resurrect my laptop after a catastrophic Manjaro Linux update. Maybe @ppd is able to kindly help with pending Snap issues?

Damn I didn't know snap was broken too, but it seems to have some trouble https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-snap/actions

btw @Kunda1 I think we don't need a toponaming snap anymore, the branch is not being used anymore

is there an issue with the downloaded fmt with snaps? currently freecad downloads from the internet and compiles the code fmt if it is not available as a system library, this should not be a problem for snaps where the build env has access to the internet. This was a problem for flatpak because the build env is not connected to the internet. Probably debian and others that use isolated builders will have the same thing. But fmt is easy to obtain.

,,,,But fmt is easy to obtain.
I am not sure.
I am assuming there is a problem since I would think that the dependency would need to be stated in snapcraft.yml.

I wasn't aware of this 'automagical' part of Snap package dependency fetching.

It's not snap doing it, it's functionality from cmake that FreeCAD used in this case where compiling the dependency is trivial
