Bug#427639: netcdfg-dev: why no fortran 90 support via gfortran?

[Giacomo Mulas <gmulas@ca.astro.it>]

Package: netcdfg-dev
Version: 3.6.1-1
Severity: normal


I had to recompile the package from source to enable fortran90 support via
gfortran, why is it not enabled by default? It only required some trivial
editing of debian/rules to get it to compile on x86_64 (i.e. setting the
fortran90 compiler appropriately).

Thanks, bye
Giacomo Mulas
