When doing the OCaml 5.1.1 rebuild I found that plplot FTBFS.  This seems unrelated to the OCaml update, but I didn't investigate closely.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rebuild the package in Rawhide.

Comment 1 Jerry James 2026-09-16 15:44:17 UTC
This seems to be the error:

sip-build: ABI v12 is being targeted but the plplot_pyqt5 module doesn't support it

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2026-09-16 23:15:52 UTC
Yeah, I'm about ready to drop this package.  It's pretty much dead upstream.

Comment 3 Jerry James 2026-09-23 13:58:06 UTC
The fix for this issue appears to be quite simple: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/plplot/pull-request/20
