What is going on?
FreeCAD in the main OSS 15.4 repository is BROKEN. (It segfaults) I file a bug to have this package in OSS fixed and I get a response:

FreeCAD works fine on TW, and thats the only thing I will support. For 15.4, you are on your own.
You are receiving this mail because:

15.4 is a new release and it has a broken package in OSS -- Why isn't that going to be fixed???
Unfortunetly there has been some cases where packages were submitted from Tumbleweed to Leap without a maintainers approval. Maintainers in openSUSE have every right to dictate which distro's they do and don't have time or are willing to support, they are volunteers after all. Unless a maintainer can be found for Leap if this issue is affecting most users then the correct way to "Fix" the issue would be to simply drop the package. On the other hand if someone can figure out what is actually triggering the issue and provide a suggested fix then the tumbleweed maintainer seems that he would be happy to help in this instance and forward such a fix to Leap even though they are under no obligation to do so. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
