The tiledb package is now in testing [1] which means gdal and pdal could
configure with it. I tested this over the holiday break with earlier
(informal) packages from launchpad -- I still have the repos and could file
bug reports with patches if that helped but I think it really is just
libtiledb-dev in debian/control for Build-Depends
--with-tiledb=yes in debian/rules for configure
I have not yet had time to look at tiledb-py. In case someone here in GIS
space wants to give me a hand I would all for it :) I am mostly an R/C++
programmer and only package a few things in Python for Debian.
