They are making (monthly) releases, it's just that they're not tagging them properly in the github.com/ngsolve/netgen repository--the tags are instead in github.com/ngsolve/ngsolve using ngsolve/netgen as a git submodule, so for example one can do: git clone --recursive https://github.com/ngsolve/ngsolve -b v6.2.1801 cd external_dependencies/netgen to get at the proper commit(s), as well. Is that acceptable? The main reason I wrote 6.2.x is because I expect 6.2.1802 will be out by the time I'm ready to upload a package to mentors.debian.net. P.S. I forgot to mention in the initial bug report that we (FreeCAD commnity) have a discussion going on this topic with one of the upstream developers, Mathias Hochsteger, in this thread: https://forum. freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=26278&start=100
