Details

according to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73235 opencascade was downgraded due to icompatibilities with FreeCAD, current version of FreeCAD is fully compatible with at least opencascade 7.6.4 (official windows binary uses it) and it would seem even 7.7 is compatible with freecad-git ( https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=629778#p629778), since this newer version of opencascade has many bugfixes that make the experience of using freecad better it would be nice if this was updated in archlinux too.
This task depends upon

meant to say opencascade 7.6.3, 7.6.4 doesn't exist

kicad 6.0.9 seems to be compatible with occt 7.6 (and likely all it's point releases) too: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/commit/12152d433103c85051628927f47f5d2eb4ad5d3a

Have you built 7.6.3 and tested it against freecad / kicad? This would increase the likelihood.

That particular commit only fixes part of the issue.

occt doesn’t follow semver at all, hence the epoch bump.

If you can actually build freecad and kicad with the latest occt and test all functionality, that would be great.

I rebuilt everything against opencascade 7.6.3 and put it into [community-testing]. Please help us test.

I installed opencascade and FreeCAD from the testing repo, FreeCAD runs correctly and passes all the self test without issues (FreeCAD --run-test 0) and I know for a fact it is compatible with the 7.6.x series, we've been using it on the flatpak, snap and appimage distributions for quite some time as well as in the windows and macOS binaries.
I installed KiCad and it runs but I have no clue on how to test the functionality that uses opencascade, I never used KiCad and know nothing of pcb design, I'll ask around the freecad forums if somebody else can help testing or provide instructions for testing.

for reference it seems debian sid is shipping FreeCAD with occt 7.6.3: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libfreecad-python3-0.20 and also kicad: https://packages.debian.org/sid/kicad
