Bug#174114: O: hdf5 -- Hierarchical Data Format 5
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The old maintainer of hdf5, Brian Russo <wolfie@debian.org> , is
apparently not active anymore. This package is thus being orphaned now.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle this bug
from 'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a new version
with your name in the Maintainer: field and a
* New maintainer (Closes: #thisbug)
in the changelog so this bug is closed.

Description: Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) - Runtime tools
HDF5 is a file format and library for storing scientific data.
HDF5 was designed and implemented to address the deficiencies of
HDF4.x. It has a more powerful and flexible data model, supports
files larger than 2 GB, and supports parallel I/O.
[ Justification: Brian has not been around for quite a while. His last
message (from July) gives someone else permission to adopt one of his
packages (see #151708). I guess it's best for Debian to orphan all of
is packages. Wolfie, sorry I have to do this to you, and I hope you
are still out there, alive and kicking! ]
