Re: Last call before metapackage creation for Wheezy

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

Ferret-vis was removed because the library xgks was removed on 
licensing
grounds; this has since been fixed (found the upstream author at last, 
thanks
Yaroslav!), but its too late to get xgks and ferret-vis into Wheezy.

Fair enough; I will backport them to Wheezy. Similarly for "zygrib" and 
the
latest "cdo", both useful packages for Debian/Met.

Unfortunately this means for our users, turning on backports becomes 
almost mandatory;
but how to best advertise this? a separate metapackage for backports?

Best regards
Alastair
