Hi Ludo, Jonathon, Bjorn, RIcardo, Paul  and everyone,


* Paul:

I just tried building opencascade-occt and there was a failure in the test
suite: https://paste.debian.net/1098482/
I did replace opencascade-oce with occt in the hopes that it will have
better support in the future.
There is also the issue of the bundled (though heavily patched) SMESH
library. If I get some time soon, I can take another look at unbundling it.

* Bjorn and Jonathon, about qtwebkit:
> qtwebkit seems to fail on master as well and it needs long to build, so
> I can't do it locally on my laptop:
> It also seems that qtwebkit is failing to build in some cases for me now.

I found qtwebkit failing for me, too, so I was unable to build freecad with
the most recent patches. The dependencies build ok though.

* Ricardo:
> We do have a later version of HDF5: hdf5-1.10, that’s version 1.10.4.
> Is this enough?

Yes it is, I used hdf5-1.10 for libmedfile.

> Do we really need SoQT?

I removed SoQT and freecad build properly before qtwebkit failed.

* Bjorn:
> medfile: Is there a specific reason you chose 3.x, instead of the
> available 4.0.0? If you, could you add a comment of why?

I was using what amounted to the pre-release of v4. I replaced with the
release version now that it is out.

> License is GPLv3+

I changed the license.

>libarea: Also licensed under GPL v3 (files under "pocket" directory).

I added this license instead

* Johnathon:
> - Maybe elaborate a bit more in the description, I have no idead what
> "lupdate, rcc and uic" is :P

I am sorry, I looked through the documentation and I don't know what they
are.

> - Is there a reason why we don't run the tests?

I recently tried to run the tests for all of the pyside tools (shiboken2,
pyside2, and pyside2-tools).
All fail to find libcxx files. I did not have a lot of time to work on it,
but I was successful in just using the official libcxx@6.X without tests.
Strangely the issue only happens when building the tests.  I have added
FIXME where appropriate.
Previously I had a hand-rolled package strictly for the pyside2 toolchain
which I removed.

> - No newlines in the description after a sentence, just two whitespaces :)

Thank you, I fill-paragraphed.

> - description: What is a MED file?

I added much more detail from the salome-platform Med documentation.

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libspnav#n13

I used the releases for coin3D and libspnav. I am worried now about coin3D
because bitbucket is going to drop support for mercurial repos next year.


* Some further notes:
There are now several optional qt modules that are not correctly found when
building pyside2.
I am not sure if this is a bug with pyside or our packages.  The package
builds properly and freecad runs, though (supposing opencascade-occt will
work).

All the patches are rebased to a pretty recent master (just a day or so
ago). Thanks for all your help!

+
+Also, libspnav provides a magellan API wrapper on top of the new API.  So, any
+applications that were using the magellan library, can switch to libspnav
+without any changes.  And programmers that are familliar with the magellan API
+can continue using it with a free library without the restrictions of the
