Package: src:opencascade
Version: 6.5.0.dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello Adam,

As you know, several community members have launched a fork called
OpenCascade Community Edition (OCE)
  https://github.com/tpaviot/oce
I am a member of this project, one of our goals had been to improve
portability and support as many architectures as possible, and IIRC
all Debian patches have been applied.
IMO it will be much easier to maintain OCE as a downstream.  To be
honest I am not interested in helping with OCC maintenance since all
my projects have switched to OCE, but of course this is your call,
hence this bugreport.

The latest release (0.6.0) is source compatible with OCCT 6.5.1,
packages which build depends on opencascade should compile just fine
with OCE, the only visible change is that we replaced Autotools by
CMake.

Denis
