Description

SciDAVis is a free interactive application aimed at data analysis and publication-quality plotting. It combines a shallow learning curve and an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful features such as scriptability and extensibility.

The package was removed in Fedora 24 as it failed to build and needed some care upstream. It was recently updated and now it comes with a patched liborigin, which works with recent versions of Origin. However, as I do not have access to such files, please test and leave feedback.

Suggestions, patches and corrections are more than welcome.

A huge amount of work was done by lupinix, the previous maintainer - many thanks!

A big "thank you" goes out to Miquel Garriga, upstream contributor to both SciDAVis and liborigin, for the armv7hl patch and for helping me unbundle liborigin and amend the spec files.

liborigin3

Following the release of liborigin v3 upstream, I have updated the liborigin package in Fedora and removed the interim liborigin3 package, which is no longer required.

Supported architectures

As of version 1.19-2, SciDAVis can be built (at least) on x86_64, i686, ppc64, ppc64le, aarch64, armv7hl and s390x. Since copr doesn't have any ARM builders yet, if you need the package for aarch64 or armv7hl, there is no use in enabling the repository, but you can use the source rpm to build a package compatible with your platform.
