Re: netcdf Transition



Ah okay, I had been under the impression that the new C++ interface will be called `libnetcdfcxx`. If both bear the same name, one is encouraged to look up the difference though. This should be fine.

I don't think the similar binary package names are a problem.

The dependencies generated with the help of the symbols files will make
sure the correct library will be used.

The package description synopsis differentiate the two C++ libraries:

 Package: libnetcdf-c++4-1
 Description: C++ interface for scientific data access to large binary data

 Package: libnetcdf-c++4
 Description: legacy NetCDF C++ interface

We may want to change the synopsis or extended description for -legacy
to mention NetCDF-3 explicitly.

Kind Regards,

Bas
