Zultron RPM Repos
Welcome to the Zultron RPM repository.
News: The RPMFusion FreeCAD package has been updated to the recently released v0.13. The new required package
python-colladahas not finished the Fedora new package review process, however. That package can be found in this repo.
The Zultron RPM repository carries CAD/CAM/CNC-related packages not in Fedora and RPMFusion. When possible, these packages will be submitted to those repositories and removed from here when accepted.
These packages work with fc17, fc18 and EL6. They depend on the RPMFusion Nonfree repositories for packages such as OCE, required by FreeCAD.
Following is a list of currently maintained packages. There may also be unlisted supporting RPMs.
| Repo | RPM name | RPM version | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stable | kernel-rt-xenomai | 2.6.2.1/3.5.7 | Xenomai 2.6.2.1 on vanilla kernel 3.5.7 |
| python-collada | 0.4 | pycollada is needed by FreeCAD v0.13; currently in review on Fedora | |
| Bleeding | freecad | git HEAD | Occasional pulls of git HEAD |
Licenses and Disclaimer
The third-party software in these packages each has its own license. You may use these packages however you like, subject to the licenses of the contained software.
