The bundled libxkbcommon has hardcoded paths from the CI build
environment baked into the library. Set XKB_CONFIG_ROOT to point
to the bundled XKB data instead.
Similarly, set FONTCONFIG_FILE and FONTCONFIG_PATH to use the
bundled fontconfig configuration.
This fixes the segfault on startup caused by libxkbcommon trying
to load XKB data from a non-existent CI runner path.
The .deb package is a self-contained bundle that includes its own
Python interpreter and all Python packages (numpy, pyside6, etc.)
from the pixi/conda-forge environment in /opt/kindred-create/.
The wrapper scripts already set PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH to use
the bundled Python, so depending on system Python packages like
python3-numpy and python3-pyside6.* is incorrect and causes
installation failures on systems without those packages.
Keep only low-level system library dependencies that can't be
bundled (libc, libstdc++, OpenGL, X11, fonts) and external tools
(calculix-ccx, gmsh, graphviz) as Recommends.
- Build workflow now bundles the entire pixi/conda environment for .deb
- This includes all shared libraries (xerces, Qt, Python, etc.)
- Wrapper scripts updated with additional env vars (QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH, XDG_DATA_DIRS, GI_TYPELIB_PATH)
- Wrapper scripts now handle both FreeCAD and freecad binary names
- Removes unnecessary files (headers, cmake, pycache) to reduce size
The bundled binaries need LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, and
QT_PLUGIN_PATH set to find their libraries. Replace symlinks
with wrapper scripts that set up the environment before exec.
- Fix version conversion for Debian policy compliance
(e.g., weekly-2025.01.28 -> 0~weekly.2025.01.28)
- Add MIME type registration for .fcstd files
- Add AppStream metainfo for software centers
- Add copyright file (required by Debian policy)
- Improve maintainer scripts with proper case statements
- Expand dependencies in control file (Depends/Recommends/Suggests)
- Add .deb build step to release workflow
- Simplify build workflow to let script handle version conversion
These files are not used in Debian or the PPA; they use conventions from
many years ago and in general are cruft. The canonical location for this
information is now https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/freecad. This
fixes#2984.
