I would be cautious with any Copenicus-related stuff. They change
quite often details of protocols on the basis of the _pro tempore_
contractors and on the going results/evidences.
My experiences with CDSE since
2023 are not better than the previous ones with Science Hub, and
the access layer should be the most stable, damn it.
yes, in the CDSE they are still changing things.
It is indeed a little bit problematic.
For instance, the whole STAC support has been completed only later on
and next year the will
deprecate the perfectly working (well, almost) OSearch protocol I used
until
now. I would expect more problems with the processing layer.
The concrete risk is that anything released for forky
would become obsolete within the forky life cycle, due to these
2-3 years cycle.
all the packages in my list are more for accessing-managing the new ZARR
based file format than for accessing the catalogue / downloading data.
AFAIK the new file format should go online mid / end next year and there
will be a long transition period.
As you say probably it is wise to wait a little bit, but I'm working on
some (processor) development that uses the new file format so forme
personally it would be handy to have the debian packages already available.
Let's see haw it progresses.
cheers
