Once I get a -current amd64 system setup, I'd like to start working on
porting FreeCAD. I'm getting library conflicts trying to install KDE 6
components.  I'm anticipating these will resolve in a couple of days.

Upstream just released a new stable version roughly 11 months after
their prior release.

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/main/cad/freecad

I think the main dependencies (opencascade, boost, Python311, qt6, GSL,
gtest) are in place.  Py_Collada is missing on my ports search but is
optional.  It still is a complex port.

The FreeBSD makefile needed a bunch of cMake work arounds.

FreeCAD is the most capable OpenSource 3D program out there - this
seems like a good time to get it into ports.

Anyone else working on this?
Is Py_Collada a valuable option?

I recall seeing some tools to import FreeBSD ports into OpenBSD - do
they work?
