Bug#786523: RFP: c-blosc -- an extremely fast, multi-threaded, meta-compressor library
Hello,
I have packaged the full suite (c-blosc, bloscpack, python-blosc…) a while ago and I have still all the files on my hard disk. If nobody is working on that, I can package the latest version (at least see if it goes smooth) and upload everything in svn or git.
Cheers,
JC
