Hi Orion: I am going to post my reply to your question on list because it is a good question...Alan

I'll probably start working on testing building rpms for Fedora Extras. > One question, what release version will this likely be? 5.6.2? 5.7? 5.7.0 since it is the first development release beyond the 5.6.x series of stable releases. (Odd minor numbers are development releases while even minor numbers are stable releases.) Although this next release is a development release, I hope it will work well for the majority of our users. I want the first impressions of our new CMake build system to be good. BTW, to help insure a high-quality development release we need testing of our CMake Build System (CBS) using the CVS version of PLplot on as many platforms as possible by those most familiar with PLplot (i.e., those lurking on this list.) Thus, I hope that all of you will give our CBS a try on your favorite platform following the instructions at http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/ For example, Orion, I don't think anybody has tried it with Fedora yet although it works well on my two Linux platforms (Debian stable and Ubuntu Dapper).
