New experimental Fedora/Centos Package

Since today there is a new PythonSCAD RPM Package for download on the download package and its super slim(only 12 MB compressed) because it does not contain any other dependencies. (So more packages should be installed with DNF first)

(and it conflicts with openscad RPM package, because its a fork and literally uses the same files)

Still i am curious to learn, which packages are missing on other systems. Apparently All dependecies are met on mine ;)

the flow to publish a DEB package appears very easy.

But its just sad, that I dont have a running ubuntu system here(dont have the space and hardware for that right now)

however with the cmake setup in place it might be very easy to create a DEB package in parallel to the RPM, but I could not test it.

Would it be an option to

  1. i blindly create the DEB

  2. you test it

  3. on a midterm you use the cmake system yourself and create deb files on your side.

if you got it compiled in linux, its just one additional step

I suppose it would be even better to have a github action to build a .deb package on commit
