In related work, I've been preparing co-installable netcdf (serial, mpi, pnetcdf) on the branch dev-coinstallable. It still needs more testing (especially symbols lists), and to be merged with 4.4.1 changes; it would not require a transition except that it renames : libnetcdf11 -> libnetcdf-11 because other packages have: libnetcdf-mpi-11 (linked against default mpi, typically openmpi) libnetcdf-pnetcdf-11 I switched to this convention because other mpi-related packages do so, eg. libhdf5-openmpi-8 I suspect this is because the mpi variant may also have a version number included, eg. libhdf5-mpich2-8 I'm not fixated on this namechange either way, what does everyone think? If we were to go with the name change, this would be a good time to do it.
