Hi, The official netcdf package at OBS (I guess it is maintained at devel:libraries:c_c++ ) is lacking some crucial compiling flags for environmental scientists. # need curl :: These allows data access over the internet, essential for climate scientists --enable-dap --disable-dap-remote-tests # need hdf5 :: This makes netcdf-4 actually netcdf-4, the current configuration is still netcdf-3 --enable-netcdf-4 --enable-ncgen4 # not essential --enable-extra-example-tests I maintain netcdf 4.1.2 here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=netcdf&project=home%3Aocefpaf However, I do not believe my version is OK for official release, since I'm and amateur packager. Also, I compile the static library (most numerical ocean models need that), and that is removed from the official package. I would like to see those flags above in the official packages and an upgrade to version 4.1.2 if possible. This would certainly expand the use of that important library. I tried to branch, do that on my own, and submit the diff back, but devel:libraries:c_c++ does not have hdf4 nor curl. Thanks, Filipe. ***************************************************** Filipe Pires Alvarenga Fernandes, PhD Candidate School of Marine Science and Technology University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth 706 Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA 02744 Email: falvarengafernandes@umassd.edu ocefpaf@gmail.com http://ocefpaf.tiddlyspot.com/ ***************************************************** -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
