Hello all,

I am one of the lead upstream developers of matplotlib.  We are in the
process gearing up for two major releases in the next few months.

First we will be doing a 1.5 release which will be a new feature release
and has a new external dependancy (https://github.com/matplotlib/cycler)
which will need to be packaged.  There is a version of cycler on pip and
I plan to do a 1.0 release of cycler around/before the mpl1.5 release.

Right after that we will be doing a 2.0 release that will have no new
features, but will be changing many of the visual defaults.

Is there anything we can do upstream to make your lives easier on the
packaging side?

I've CC'ed python-matplotlib-ow...@fedoraproject.org to directly email the current maplotlib maintainers - although I think we may be a bit short on active maintainers there at the moment.

You probably should check out the current bugs for the package:

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/python-matplotlib/bugs

as it will show you some of the current issues we are facing. In general unbundling and having the ability to split the package on clear dependency lines is helpful.

Thanks for reaching out!
