Thats what I had planned but the NetCDF maintainer(s) feel the changes are too invasive. I'm working on resolving these issues (mostly requiring versioned symbols to be accepted by upstream) but the timescale would likely not see parallel NetCDF in buster in time, hence the (temporary) separate package.On 07/04/2018 12:37 PM, Alastair McKinstry wrote:This package is necessary because it is not possible currently to enable all functionality in any single build of NetCDF - use of Compression, etc. in netcdf-4 requires a serial build.
