Re: Debian Meteorology ?

[Alastair McKinstry <alastair.mckinstry@ichec.ie>]

Dear Antonio,

Thanks.
I have submitted a new ITP for magics++ :  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522984
Enrico Zini is packaging gribapi; it is almost complete (working on  
man pages, I think) in the debian alioth git repository.

What does the BUFR software include that is not in the EMOSLIB package ?

Regards
Alastair
