I will do that. One question/proposal: is it possible to have the tests also done on the _installed_ libraries? The rationale behind this is that I would like to enable Continuous Integration Tests https://ci.debian.net/doc for the package. This would give a warning whenever an incompatible upload for a language binding (or wherever) happens, not only when a (occasional) rebuild is done. This early warning would also enable to early discuss the problems with the maintainers of the other packages.

I tried, but then I got many error about op_lshift: [ 10%] Building CXX object bindings/octave/CMakeFiles/plplot_octave.dir/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx.o cd /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave && /usr/bin/c++ -DPLPLOT_HAVE_CONFIG_H -Dplplot_octave_EXPORTS -I/build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/include -I/build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/lib/qsastime -I/build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu -I/build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/include -I/build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial -I/usr/include/octave-4.2.1 -I/usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave -I/build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/bindings/swig-support -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/.. -I/usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/.. -I/usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial -fPIC -o CMakeFiles/plplot_octave.dir/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx.o -c /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/ob j-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx In file included from /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx:181:0: /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/toplev.h:28:2: warning: #warning "toplev.h has been deprecated; use interpreter.h instead" [-Wcpp] #warning "toplev.h has been deprecated; use interpreter.h instead" ^~~~~~~ /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx: In function 'void SWIG_InstallBinaryOps(int, int)': /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx:2099:46: error: 'op_lshift' is not a member of 'octave_value' if (!octave_value_typeinfo::lookup_binary_op(octave_value::op_##name,tid1,tid2)) \ ^ /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx:2147:5: note: in expansion of macro 'swigreg_binary_op' swigreg_binary_op(lshift); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and a number of warnings about octave_value::octave_value: /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx: In function 'octave_value_list _wrap_plGetCursor(const octave_value_list&, int)': /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx:10770:60: warning: 'octave_value::octave_value(const charMatrix&, bool, char)' is deprecated: note: IS_STRING argument is ignored [-Wdeprecated-declarations] retval4( 0 ) = octave_value( charMatrix( 80, 1 ), true ); ^ In file included from /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/ovl.h:36:0, from /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/ov-fcn.h:33, from /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/ov-builtin.h:30, from /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/defun-int.h:30, from /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/defun-dld.h:32, from /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/oct.h:32, from /build/plplot-5.12.0+dfsg/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx:173: /usr/include/octave-4.2.1/octave/ov.h:244:3: note: declared here octave_value (const charMatrix& chm, bool is_string, char type = '\''); ^~~~~~~~~~~~ So it does not build in the moment. > The fundamental problem, of course, (since I am the person with > probably the most PLplot development knowledge) is I need to upgrade > from Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch (now that the latter has been > released as the stable version of Debian), and then tackle such > PLplot dependency version issues that remain.

What I would recommend here is "schroot", which is a Debian package. It allows you to test multiple versions of the OS at the same; for example Stretch (or the Debian testing) on a Debian Jessie machine. The home dir keeps mounted, and so one can easily switch between different Debian versions quickly, and you don't destroy the main setup for a test. > By the way, if you are interested in the history of the Debian > packaging of PLplot from 2003 to 2014, then you should take a look at > > git log --name-status -- debian > > results. Thank you! I will have a look.
