A quick check shows 233 eclipse packages(!). The 'dnf info' about the eclipse-jdt package (Eclipse Java Development Tools) says it is v 4.5.2 while the eclipse-cdt package says it is v 8.8.1, so I don't understand how these version numbers, which seem to be the package version, might relate to the Eclipse software version. Since I don't use Eclipse, that's about as far as I can go without installing it. BTW, I'm running Fedora 23, with Fedora 24 recently announced as the latest and greatest version. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
