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 If you see a new version in the FreeCad repository, please wait for 30 minutes before setting the package out-of-date flag.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

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?

Haha.. sometimes its an easy solution. Thank you.

But for interest, what is the patch needed for?

Genues commented on 2024-07-26 11:43 (UTC)

@sam9032 you need install patch utility: pacman -S patch

Hi there,

I get an error with the package:

freecad-weekly-appimage/PKGBUILD: line 28: patch: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

What's the reason for the patch-file?

@l8086 Hi. I think, you should looking developers forum. I don't use Wayland.

The latest version (0.22_36958-1) does not start when using Wayland (kde). Possible relevant startup messages:

xkbcommon: ERROR: failed to add default include path /home/runner/work/FreeCAD-Bundle/FreeCAD-Bundle/conda/linux/AppDir/usr/share/X11/xkb
(qt.qpa.wayland) failed to create xkb context
QOpenGLFunctions created with non-current context
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(please see full stacktrace on https://pastebin.com/WjMCJqZZ)

Note 1: When I force using X compatibility (see command bellow), it starts normally.

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb freecad

Note 2: The previous version that I've used, worked on Wayland (was 0.22_36807-1).

@sclebo05 fixed!
