Current version in Mageia 5 is 4.6.5.
Current version available upstream is 4.6.6, which is the final release on the 4.6 branch.

Please update both packages.

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

I don't know how hard it is to maintain a package, but if it's not too hard, and a mentor is patient enough with me, I would be interested in maintaining this one. I guess nothing else depends on it, so it should be a good starting point.

Comment 3 Rémi Verschelde 2016-10-02 19:21:14 CEST

Actually there are quite a few packages that depend on gnuplot, but it would probably not be a big issue anyway:

gnupylot
gretl
maxima
maxima-gui
maxima-runtime-clisp
maxima-runtime-ecl
maxima-runtime-gcl
maxima-runtime-sbcl
nightfall
octave
octave-devel
octave-plplot
pfstools-octave
qalculate-gtk
qtoctave
task-astronomy
wxmaxima


It would be great if you want to become a packager and maintain gnuplot, I could probably mentor you if you want.
See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager for information on how to get started, and don't hesitate to ask for details on IRC #mageia-mentoring.

Hi.
I'm a lead developer on the gnuplot side and a long-time Mageia user.
Feel free to ping me on any packaging issues.

As a heads-up, version 5.0.5 will be released in the next week or so.

FYI gnuplot 5.0.6 will be released later this month.  There's a testing copy gnuplot-5.0.6pre on SourceForge in the "5.0 Release Candidates" folder.  Nothing major, just the usual miscellany of bug fixes and a couple of minor new features.
