<p>FreeCAD relies on a large number of software packages and is available on most major platforms (Linux, OSX, Windows), each Distro/OS have several distribution methods available (package managers, Libpacks, pip, Conda, AppImages, installers, etc). This makes for a particularly challenging configuration management environment.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Details">Details</span></h2>
|
|
<ol><li> A clear picture of FreeCAD's dependencies as well as their dependencies is required. This is envisioned as a visual depiction (perhaps a directed graph) and an analysis of conflicting versions.</li>
|
|
<li> A plan for the partitioning of the FreeCAD functionality into manageable chunks along with smaller sets of dependencies is also required. It's desirable to identify interdependencies and not re-install them.</li></ol>
|
|
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Expected_Outcome">Expected Outcome</span></h2>
|
|
<ol><li> A concrete/documented view of FreeCD's dependencies (and perhaps the trusted addons) </li>
|
|
<li> A reduction in manual effort when releasing new versions of FreeCAD</li></ol>

<p>This work will provide experience in the packaging and distribution of multi-platform, cross-dependency software.
