[Plplot-devel] Fedora package status

[Orion P. <or...@co...>]

Here's what's up:

Just built svn revision 8752 for Fedora Rawhide.  Fedora will be 
entering "Feature freeze" on Tuesday the 9th.  After this, only bug 
fixes really should go in until the final freeze in October.  F10 should 
be released in November, at which point updates can be made available as 
well.  Schedule is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/Schedule

You can find the logs for the builds here, if anyone is interested:

Issues:

- ocaml example 9 crashes on ppc/ppc64.  This seems to be an ocaml issue 
rather than a plplot issue and hopefully we'll (the Fedora ocaml/ppc 
guys and me) will get it sorted out.

- One of the perl checks fails due to an apparent PDL/perl 5.10 issue. 
I filed a bug a while back with PDL, but no real action.

Otherwise no real issues that I know of.  Please install and test when 
the F10 beta comes out (9/23 target) if you are so inclined.

Let me know if any particular svn revisions should get pushed into F10 
before release.  Otherwise I'm going to leave it for a while.  This has 
got to be one of the more trying packages to maintain because of all of 
the dependencies.  If anyone would like to join the Fedora project and 
help me maintain plplot, that would be great.
