Sounds like a good plan in general, but will the FreeBDS tarball stay up to date with the upstream version? Well, maybe it's too early to worry about that. > Are you interested in helping with any of the above? Yes, but I can't guarantee I can spend much time on opencascade. I'm interested in free tools for 3D CAD, and as a first step I would like to be able to display a 3D models from IGES files. Apparently FreeCAD ( http://juergen-riegel.net/FreeCAD/Docu/index.php?title=Main_Page ) can do this, but it needs Opencascade to compile. If you get a repository in Alioth (I prefer git or bzr, but can work with other systems as well), I can try to do something.
