FYI -
I'm trying out the new Modular / AppStream functionality of Fedora
28+ to try to provide octave 4.4 (currently 4.4.1) updates. I've just
submitted the octave 4.4 module to the updates-testing-modular repo. I'd
be grateful for those of you on Fedora to give it a try.
Orion,
TL;DR it works on F28.

I've not poked at modules yet so this seemed a good time to try... I'll
document below on F28 in case others were also unsure how to play with
the New Shiny...
# dnf install fedora-repos-modular
# dnf module list
There was no Octave, presumably b/c its in testing still, so I enabled
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing-modular.repo
# dnf module list
octave 4.4 20181118231341

# dnf module install octave:4.4

So then I tried:
# dnf module enable octave:4.4
'octave:4.4' is enabled
# dnf install octave
Dependencies resolved.

Now my /usr/bin/octave is 4.4.1. No idea where my old 4.2 octave is
because AFAICT it never uninstalled the old RPM. Probably I just don't
understand modular yet.
thanks,
Colin
