Ubuntu Daily PPA no longer maintained?

Post by knipknap »

Is there still any repository for installing FreeCAD dailies on Ubuntu (22.04)?

The instructions:

https://wiki.freecad.org/Installing_on_ ... PA_(Daily)

refer to

https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintain ... ecad-daily

but that is no longer updated.
Sorry if this was asked before, the forum doesn't let me use any relevant search terms (ubuntu, daily, ppa) because they are "too common".

not through apt, daily snap packages are available as well as appimages twice a week and flatpaks on flathub beta at irregular intervals (~2 weeks)

@adrianinsaval Why do you still have three package formats: AppImages (best), flatpaks (don't work with Ubuntu AFAIK) and snaps (slow startup)? AppImages work everywhere so why not stick only with AppImages?

And when I install FreeCAD with github source code it doesn't find the workbenches.

@grd appimages has its own challenges. But that's off-topic and can be explored in another thread.

Anyway, I'm closing this thread (since it's a dupe) in favor of viewtopic.php?t=69055
