Re: Gnuplot 5.4.7 release tarball available for testing

[Ethan A M. <me...@uw...>]

Ugh.  I wonder how that slipped through?  My fault in any case.

I am not sure what is best

- repackage 5.4.7 with the version number changed?

- release a version 5.4.8 that is identical to 5.4.7 except that it
correctly reports its version number?

Either way may lead to some confusion.
The first option would change the check-sums for the tarball named
gnuplot-5.4.7.tar.gz, which has led to concern in the past.
The second seems a bit odd if there are no actual changes or fixes
between 7 and 8, but I guess it would not hurt anything.
