Is there any time frame to get octave 4.4 in Fedora. It would be nice to get it for Fedora 29 but the time is pressing since beta is approaching. That would require to first build octave and then to rebuild all the octave-* subpackages. Eventually that also implies to update some subpackages to be compatible with 4.4 since some functions have migrated from the packages to core. I am quite busy until September 14th but I would like to help with the effort.
I'm afraid I have no time. All help appreciated.
(In reply to Orion Poplawski from comment #3) > I'm afraid I have no time. All help appreciated. Do you have any special advice for this? I am not searching any magic bullet (although I would not mind it :-) ) but your experience is quite valuable. :-)
Just that I would suggest doing rebuilds in a copr first - there are a lot of deps and it would be good not to break rawhide for a long time.
