I don't understand all the nuances of this discussion (I'm sorry), but
it seems to me that the problem is, in the case of the development
version of freecad, that the sources are not published regularly. The
sources were last published in 2019 (1), while freecad offers an
Appimage almost every week. So building something from the sources of
the development code doesn't add much value to the stable version. I
must certainly be missing something, so once again sorry.

(1) https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19_pre: " Note:
The development binaries are built regularly (You may need to expand
the assets tab) . The release date indicates the beginning of the dev
cycle. The commits indicates how many commits in the dev cycle. The
source archives (tar.gz and .zip) do not get updated, so they match the
commit of the tag (34a083b) and are therefore obsolete. You can get the
latest source here:
