Bug#730492: RFH: hdf5

[Sylvestre Ledru <sylvestre@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hello,

If someone wants to step in to help on HDF5, he/she is more than welcome.

I am planning to maintain it but help is welcome.
For example, some tasks which should be done:
* fix the git repository (git import-orig ../hdf5_1.8.12.orig.tar.gz fails with conflicts)
* package the new upstream release (1.8.12) /!\ in the release 11, the SONAME was wrongly changed
to 8 for no real reason. We should check if the 8 is deserved or not.
* backport the arm64 ubuntu changes

Thanks,
Sylvestre
