I admit I trusted info that are written on the wiki and did not take (precious) time to check each entry. I agree with Jelle that having wrong info is worse than having no info at all. I remember an old discussion we had on the older pythonocc-ml, and someone said: "A wiki is better than no wiki". I'm not sure of that anymore. >> It appears that Ubuntu is behind on OpenCascade -- I don't see any >> packages of 6.3 for Intrepid.

However, the problem of linux binary is that there are two many different distributions and packaging for Linux is not so easy (I mean compared to Windows or MacOSX). The best we can do, in my opinion, is to provide a reliable build system that ensure pythonOCC can be built everywhere. Maybe I should go back to the scons script for a couple of days and try to improve it. > Cheers, > > -jelle > Cheers, Thomas _______________________________________________ Pythonocc-users mailing list Pythonocc-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/pythonocc-users
