Hi everybody!
I am usign FreeCAD now quite intensively. In Trisquel reops there's 0.14
version, which is quite recent, but FreeCAD is in alfa version still and
under very active development.
I would like to track FreeCAD's development more closely, and in their websie
they state that are mantaining a PPA repository of "stable" versions of the
program. There's also a GIT repository where I can download and build the
program from scratch.
I know that none of these methods is advised to be used to have a stable
system, but I'm in de mood of taking the risk, and would like to know...
Which method (compile from scratch versus PPA installing) is better to keep a
more consistent system?
Will PPA alter official repos or create dependency conflicts with my
installed packages?
Will compiled dependencies (installed in /usr/local/bin, for example)
potentially conflict with "official" packages installed (mainly in /usr/bin)?
I would apreciate any ideas. Thank you!
Jaume.
