Re: versioned dependency on the libhdf5-7 virtual package
For libhe5-hdfeos0, i'm working on this.
One thing I need to check is HDF5 dependencies. he5-hdfeos0 was built
and tested
against HDF5 1.8.7. Since then HDF5 has a new version 1.8.8 with some
significant
changes; a new HDFEOS5 upstream was released to use it (5.1.14).
HDF5 1.8.8 is in Debian. I need to confirm the old HDFEOS5 works with
the new HDF5,
if not i'll have to bump to the latest HDFEOS5 upstream (which I don't
want to do
unnecessarly in wheezy, because of the freeze).
So, the plan is to:
* rebuild hee5-hdfeos50 against hdf5 1.8.8 and fix the dependencies as
described.
If this works, fine.
* If not, build the new he5-hdfeos0 and ask the release admins nicely.
regards
Alastair
