Is anything happening with introducing MPFR 4 into Fedora? I found these: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/mpfr-4.0.0 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1537252 but they indicate that efforts to update have come to a halt. I ask because I have had to patch 2 of my packages to keep them working with MPFR 3, and I've got more that are said to work with either version 3 or version 4. I am willing to put some effort into making the update happen. I agree with the previous assessments that we will probably have to make the two versions parallel installable for awhile, possibly for quite awhile, until everything can be migrated to version 4. This is the list of source packages in Fedora 30 that depend on libmpfr, with asterisks by the ones I maintain, comaintain, or just tend to meddle with: R-Rmpfr Singular (*) apron (*) arb (*) arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs avr-gcc cross-gcc fawkes flint (*) gap-pkg-float (*) gappa (*) gawk gcc gdb genius ghdl giac gnome-calculator gretl ledger libbytesize libfplll (*) libmpc libqalculate libscs mingw-gcc mpfi (*) nacl-gcc ocaml-mlgmpidl ocaml-tplib (*) octave-interval openscad polymake (*) pynac (*) python-fpylll (*) python-gmpy2 (*) rasqal sagemath (*) sirocco (*) texlive-base why (*) Wow, I didn't realize how many packages I work with that consume mpfr. That makes 16 out of 41, so I can manage moving 40% of the mpfr-using packages over to version 4 all by myself. And, truth be told, there are 4 more on that list that I've committed changes to at one point or another, so I've had my fingers on 50% of them. Good grief. Is somebody working on this already, and if so, what have you accomplished so far, and what are your future plans? How can I help? -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
