To PLplot developers and testers:
After a six-year break I have started developing again, and I
discovered recently that a number of PLplot maintenance issues had
accumulated when I upgraded my system from Debian Buster to Trixie.
I fixed most of those in a recent commit which I pushed. The commit
message has lots of comments about the issues I ignored so I encourage
other here to try the latest git version of PLplot for themselves by
comprehensively testing it (as I documented in the commit message) on
your favorite platform, as well as fixing any of the maintenance
issues that I noticed but ignored or any additional issues you might
find.
I hope to get to one further PLplot issue soon (the news feed
no longer works at plplot.sf.net), but after that I plan to spend most
of my development effort on FreeEOS with only occasional contributions
to PLplot.
Alan -
Welcome back!
FYI - I'm not sure how much longer I will be maintaining plplot in
Fedora. I did it because I maintained GDL and it used plplot - but
during the plplot development hiatus they decided to just fork what they
used from plplot into their own repo.
But, I have some nostalgic interest so I have started poking at the
latest git and will start to post more info and update various pull
requests if needed.
But my first question is about this:

BUILD_SYSTEM: Implement libLASi version check
The psttf and psttfc devices only work reliably for libLASi-1.1.4 or
higher so implement a version check to that effect.
Where is libLASi 1.1.4?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lasi/files/lasi/ only shows up to 1.1.3.
I guess it appears that svn trunk is version 1.1.4 - but if you are
going to require it you really should make a libLASi 1.1.4 release.
Another issue is that plplot fails to build with Tcl/Tk 9. Not sure if
that is on your radar or not.
Another note is that Qt5 is out of support now. Any plans to port to Qt6?
This appears to still be an issue:
https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/merge-requests/8/
We are also still needing to apply this patch:
https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/mailman/message/37165423/
The good news is that it appears that all tests are succeeding on all
architectures. Nice!
