Gentoo has

matplotlib-0.73.1.ebuild
matplotlib-0.80-r1.ebuild
matplotlib-0.81.ebuild
matplotlib-0.82.ebuild

0.81 is latest stable.

The latest release from matplotlib is 0.84.

Why is Gentoo so far behind?

Maybe because you did not test it and open a bug saying it 
is working for you and they could put it in ~arch?

If it is just a minor revision you can try to just rename 
the ebuild, digest it, compile it, and if all goes 
well you put it in your PORTAGE_OVERLAY.

Try it, it is fun.

Best Regards

I did tweak one of the ebuilds to make one for 0.84 and have been using 
it for a while without problems. I don't know if a bug report is 
appropriate, there is no bug it's just not up to date.

Hi Bill,

Gentoo's bugzilla doesn't only keep track of bugs but
all sorts of other things, new/updated ebuilds included.
The following link should provide you with the necessary
information on how to submit your ebuild for matplotlib-0.84 
to bugzilla

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml


Thanks,
Markus

I just checked and someone submitted a matplotlib 0.84 ebuild last week. 
It is almost identical to mine.

Hi Bill,

Excellent! Let's hope that the version bump will make
its way into portage soon.

cheers,
Markus
