Re: [Plplot-devel] RH 7.2 rpm's need testing

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Today, I uploaded a changed version of the RH 7.2 rpm to the file release
area and also committed a changed specfile that generated this rpm.  My RH
7.2 build system had an ancient svgalib package installed so the original
rpm version included a dependency on that package (which is probably
unlikely to work).  Now I have just used the --disable-linuxvga configure
option to ignore that old package (and of course drop that little-used
driver from the rpm).

One of our users took a sneak-peak at the original RH 7.2 rpm and drew my
attention to the impossibility of getting an up-to-date svgalib rpm that was
consistent with RH 7.2.

I sent a release announcement to plplot-general so others can give this
latest rpm a try, but I hope Maurice especially puts the new plplot rpm and
the already existing matwrap rpm through the wringer (especially interactive
tests of X which I cannot do) to be sure everything is okay.
