If the maintainers are too busy to update this package, I can help out. I'm willing to be a comaintainer if you need the help.
Are Fedora stuck at 1.3.x for this? <http://www.mpir.org/past.html> "Note the MPIR 1.3.x libraries are overall licensed LGPL v2+. They contain NO LGPL v3+ files as earlier versions of MPIR did."
As far as I can tell with repoquery, Macaulay2 is the only current client of mpir. It is licensed GPLv2. Current mpir is LGPLv3+. If this is the reason for not updating mpir, then Macaulay2 is already in trouble, because it also uses mpfr and glpk. The current mpfr package in Fedora is "LGPLv3+ and GPLv3+ and GFDL", and current glpk is GPLv3.
Forget glpk; it is only used during building, not linked with. But the mpfr issue is a real one, which I filed as bug 821036.
ping!
This is somewhat absurd lag on the version. Can anyone comment on the holdup? Is the maintainer around? I have need of a newer version of MPIR and building from scratch then pushing to all my systems is an unfortunate use of time.
Erf, totally missed this. Jerry, if you want to take ownership feel free to apply through https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/mpir and I'm quite happy to either just give you commit rights or transfer ownership over. Mark
I suspect we need to create an mpir13 package, containing the current mpir 1.3.1 code, before we proceed. This is for Macaulay2, the only current mpir client in Fedora. since mpir 1.3.1 is the last LGPLv2+ release. All subsequent releases are LGPLv3+. I will ask the Macaulay2 maintainer to comment. Also, the current package contains a patch on top of the existing s390 support to add s390x support. But s390 support was dropped after the 2.3.1 release. So if s390/s390x support is important to somebody, we'll also need an mpir23 package to hold the last such release, or we'll need somebody to port the latest code back to the s390/s390x platforms. Otherwise, all mpir-using programs will have to be "ExcludeArch: s390 s390x".
Macaulay2-1.5 in f18+ currently only uses gmp+mpfr (with a patch for better compatibility with sage), so seems M2 may well not be affected by the plans here.

I compiled mpir-2.6.0 on a SLES 11-SP2 for s390x and it looks fine. make check is also OK, "All xx tests passed" All done on real hardware z10 2097 E64
Oh, so it must be using the "generic" C code in the mpn subdirectory, then, even though the assembler sources are gone. Okay, I'll drop the ExcludeArch and rebuild. Thanks for letting me know.
