Octave maintainers and Fedora packagers - I've just requested an EPEL7 branch for octave. The question next to be answered is what version of octave to build for this - 3.8.X or to wait for 4.0. Since we do not break API/ABI in EPEL this choice will be around for a long time (e.g. we are on 3.0 in EPEL5 and 3.4 in EPEL6). So I guess what would be helpful from the octave developers would be: - Any ETA for 4.0?
I don't know. When it's ready? It certainly won't be just a few weeks. I'd hope for less than 6 months, but my predictions about these kinds of things are usually way off.
- Is 4.0 likely to be API/ABI compatible with 3.8?
No, probably not. jwe
