Hi Spike, the review is attached.  There are just a few problems, and I have a
github repo that fixes the worst of them at
https://github.com/zultron/HeeksCAD-RPM

If you fix those, I'd definitely approve the package.  Nice work!

Looking at this ticket a year later, Miloš said right, HeeksCAD is defunct for
certain.

(In fact, another probable reason for its demise was the OpenCASCADE license
keeping packages out of distributions, and because it was difficult to compile
from source.  This put runnable binaries out of the hands of most ordinary
users.)

HeeksCAD has not been defunct long enough that these packages can't still be
built for all current non-EOL Fedora distros.

HeeksCAD is important and useful for a number of reasons.

In open-source engineering software circles, HeeksCAD is regularly pointed to
as a good example of a CAM application that could compete against industry
incumbents.  AFAIK, PyCAM is the only other serious FOSS 3D CAM contender, and
its development pace is fairly slow.

HeeksCAD is today still part of a certain circle of users' CAD/CAM/CNC tool
chain (though mostly Debian-like distro users), of which one common combination
is FreeCAD (the project Heeks said he would likely switch to when he abandoned
HeeksCAD), HeeksCAD (for CAM functions), LinuxCNC.

The future FreeCAD CAM module is still in developmental infancy, but the
project designers plan to transplant the HeeksCAD post-processor straight into
their module.

These packages will be useful to users today still waiting for a viable FOSS
CAM alternative, and they are also a chance to preserve easy access to HeeksCAD
for posterity.

Spike, if you're still interested in pushing this package through, I'll review
it.  Thanks for the work.

John

AFAIK, HeeksCAD is no longer actively developed nor maintained.

Is there a point to packaging it at all?

May I ask what makes you think so? Sure, the latest commit is about 4 months
old, but is it dead?

I don't have time to administer HeeksCAD properly and I suggest for a more
active project you look at FreeCAD. [1,2]
