I have been in touch with the pari maintainer.  He is preparing an
update to 2.5.0, but some packages in Fedora still require 2.3.5.  The
plan is to create a new pari23 package for those consumers who require
2.3.5, and push the main package to 2.5.0.  He asked me to help
determine which consuming packages in Fedora can be updated to pari
2.5.0, and which must remain on 2.3.5.  I'll work on that this week.
