Hi, I'm about to upload Octave 4.4.1 to experimental. Uploading to unstable is not possible because there is a (rather unexpected) SOVERSION bump. This means that we have to go through another transition (which should be relatively straightforward though). Until this transition can be completed, the status of Octave in testing and unstable is rather bad: – testing/buster has version 4.4.0-3, affected by #904855 (FTBFS with Qt 5.11) – unstable/sid has version 4.4.1~rc2-3, affected by #906047 (plplot FTBFS because of the -rc2 string in Octave version number) I'm wondering whether uploading to unstable a targeted quick fix for #906047 would be a good idea: on one hand, it would allow fixing all RC bugs before the transition is completed; on the other hand, it could cause ABI issues (because 4.4.1~rc2 does not have the SOVERSION bump but probably already has the ABI break, though I did not check). What do you think? Best, -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
