Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Update openscad to 2025.05.02 and add manifold
Date: Wed,  7 May 2025 07:20:52 +0200

This is an update for openscad.  The last official release was in 2021.01 and
the project is currently preparing the next one, but it's uncertain when this
will be out.

In the meantime users are encouraged to use nightly builds and the devs claim
they are stable and quite mature.

Thus I worked on upgrading the package to a recent commit.  Once the new
release is out, it should be easy to update the package definition.

I encountered a few bugs for which I opened tickets with the openscad
project.  I've put links to those in the comments.

The upstream project also bundles the library manifold via git submodules.  I
have extracted it into it's own project.

Someone from the project proposed a set of
[build-flags](https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/5880#issuecomment-2848904434)
which I ended up using.

I couldn't get most of the tests to succeed which is probably due to the lack
of a physical GPU inside the build container, so I disabled them.

I also updated the package description with the one they have in their readme.

+       "OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects.  It is free
+software and available for Linux/UNIX, MS Windows and macOS.
+Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the famous
+application Blender), OpenSCAD focuses on the CAD aspects rather than the
+artistic aspects of 3D modeling.  Thus this might be the application you are
+looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but
+probably not the tool for creating computer-animated movies.
+OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeler.  Instead it is more like a 3D-compiler
+that reads a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model
+from this script file. This gives you, the designer, complete control over the
+modeling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modeling
+process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters.
+OpenSCAD provides two main modeling techniques: First there is constructive
+solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines.  As the
+data exchange format for these 2D outlines Autocad DXF files are used.  In
+addition to 2D paths for extrusion it is also possible to read design
+parameters from DXF files.  Besides DXF files OpenSCAD can read and create 3D
+models in the STL and OFF file formats.")
