Re: IfcOpenShell - help it getting more widespread support in package ecosystem
Hi, I am maintaining a fedora rpm repository for IfcOpenShell, blenderbim and Topologic: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs ... OpenShell/
Copr repositories are hosted by fedora, but they are add-ons that are not part of the default fedora package set.
I am also a fedora package maintainer, so could potentially push IfcOpenShell into fedora proper. But currently I'm more interested in tracking the latest code, particularly since blenderbim has no stable release planned anytime soon.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for all the work you do!
Please do this. It also gives the project more exposure as well.brunopostle wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:16 am I am also a fedora package maintainer, so could potentially push IfcOpenShell into fedora proper.

Re: IfcOpenShell - help it getting more widespread support in package ecosystem
Blenderbim is tightly bound to the latest changes in IfcOpenShell (the python bindings in particular), so anyone tracking blenderbim wants regular unstable snapshots of both.
Whereas standard fedora libraries are generally updated to the latest stable release only - this would mean maintaining an older IfcOpenShell 0.6 for fedora general distribution, in addition to a bleeding-edge IfcOpenShell/blenderbim pair in the add-on repository. I'm not sure who the audience is for an out-of-date IfcOpenShell

Re: IfcOpenShell - help it getting more widespread support in package ecosystem
Sorry that was a quick post. I do intend to push IfcOpenShell to fedora at some point (or help someone else do it), but I suspect that users are currently well served with the add-on repository - since they are necessarily early adopters anyway.

I see. This clarifies my understanding a lot
