Update to SMESH 9.11? #72

Open thyssentishman opened 10 months ago

thyssentishman commented 10 months ago

I'm in the process of porting FreeCAD to OpenBSD and I'm not sure whether it makes sense to package SMESH from this fork (as it has been done in Fedora for example) or use official sources (or the one included in the FreeCAD sources). From an difficulty-to-port perspective I think this fork is the way to go, but I'd first like to make sure that it will remain active and updated. With that said, I'd like to ask the following:

What is the status of this fork? Is it still maintained? Any plans to keep up with upstream? From the FreeCAD perspective, does it make sense to follow the latest SMESH releases?

Hi @thyssentishman . I'm hoping to circle back on this project over the holidays and new year when I have some downtime. That's about the only time each year I get to work on my open source projects these days...

If relevant, there is also some work to make SMESH available on conda https://github.com/conda-forge/smesh-feedstock and the maintainers of that conda package are a bit more up-to-date with upstream SMESH (i.e., Salome). Maybe @looooo has some suggestions?

Hi @trelau @thyssentishman

Actually I did not look into smesh for a long time, sry. Maybe we can work together in the hollidays to resolve some issues.

Note: Looks like MEFISTO has been removed as of Salome Platform 9.10 https://files.salome-platform.org/Salome/Salome9.10.0/SALOME_9_10_0_Release_Notes.pdf

I suppose that means need to update patches, tests, etc. when moving up past version 9.9
