And it only took 4 years :-). Looks like Mono 3 may be in
fedora 22.

 Out of curiosity: What does FreeCAD need Coin3 for?

I forget the specific error, but there was a header it tries
to include in some code that doesn't exist in Coin2. It may
have had inventor in the filename, but I don't remember for sure.

I thought Fedora tried to stay up to date with latest
released software?

I just tried to build FreeCAD 0.15 from git, but it
needs Coin3, and fedora only has Coin2.


Coin package maintainer speaking
Just like Richard said (after 4 years of lingering in Fedora's review 
queue), Coin3 is just about to land.

Out of curiosity: What does FreeCAD need Coin3 for?

Coin3 only offers very few features, Coin2 does not supply. Almost all 
cases, I've encountered packages which claim to require Coin2, actually 
did so thanks to lack of better upstream knowledge. Many of them 
actually require an SGI-Inventor API-compatible library and do not 
require Coin at all


[Coin originally is an SGI-Inventor clone, imitating the 
SGI-Inventor-2.1. API, originating from times, when SGI-Inventor was 
closed source, with a few features added.]



What happened to that pioneering spirit? :-).
