Fedora Scientific 28 Beta

Fedora 28 beta was announced recently and I am happy to say Fedora Scientific is back.

One note though, the following applications/libraries are not part of the release:

• networkx
• scilab
• sagemath
• rkward

You can install them on your installation using:

$ sudo dnf install python*-networkx scilab sagemath rkward

The reason for the above software to be not installed was some failures to install the packages which is why I commented those out so that we can have a release. The package maintainers have since fixed the issue (thank you!) and hence you can install them now. Hopefully, they will back with the Fedora Scientific 29 release.

The Fedora Scientific Guide has more about what’s included in Fedora Scientific.
