[Pkg-octave-devel] HDF5 transition from version 1.8.6 => 1.8.8

[Alastair McKinstry]

Hi,

Who from the GIS team is going to build and upload netcdf?
I've tested a new release of grads and anything depending on netcdf
cannot be built until netcdf is built for 1.8.8.

We need to test netcdf against hdf5-1.8.8 (i.e. netcdf4 format); there is
netcdf-4.1.3 in experimental ...


Regards
Alastair
