Hi all,
I'm wondering about the current state of the scientific spin. Is it still alive? There was no release for 32 and builds are currently failing [1] for Fedora 33 as scilab is not available anymore. I can help with the spin if needed (know how it works as I'm the maintainer of Astronomy Spin).
Greetings Christian

@lgmducazu are (were?) meant to take it over. I don't know what the status there is, though. If you do have the time to take care of it, please go ahead. :)
Hi Christian,
Thanks for reaching out.
Scilab is not the only component that prevents the build from completing succesfully... In the short term, we could just exclude theses packages, so there is a Scientific Spin for F33.
In the long run, we should do a thourough revision of the package list. There is too much stress on development tools and too little on actual scientific packages to my taste.
Let me know what you think, -- Luc

Hi,
thanks for your answer. My mails main intention is to bring the spin back in F33, so my first suggestion would be exclusing these packages, too.
About the revision of the package list: +1, that was also one reason for the seperate Astronomy spin (beneath the size of some of its packages… shiny virtual planet maps are huge…)
