Fwd: Bug#1038443: ITP: c-blosc2 -- Fast, compressed, persistent binary data store library for C

[Antonio Valentino]

Dear all,
c-blosc2 is "Fast, compressed, persistent binary data store library" 
(see details below).

Since v3.8 PyTables (maintained in Debian Science) requires also c-blosc2.

I would like to maintain the package in Debian Science and I'm looking 
for a sponsor for the initial upload.

The git repository for the Debian package of c-blosc2 is currently in my 
personal area on salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/antonio.valentino/c-blosc2

I will quickly move it to https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/c-blosc2 
as soon as someone accepts to sponsor it.


kind regards
antonio

   Description     : Fast, compressed, persistent binary data store 
library for C

Binary package names: libblosc2-2, libblosc2-dev

  Blosc is a high performance compressor optimized for binary data.
  It has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster
  than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach
  via a memcpy() OS call. Blosc main goal is not just to reduce the
  size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but also to accelerate
  memory-bound computations.
  .
  C-Blosc2 is the new major version of C-Blosc, and tries hard to be
  backward compatible with both the C-Blosc1 API and its in-memory
  format. However, the reverse thing is generally not true for the
  format; buffers generated with
  C-Blosc2 are not format-compatible with C-Blosc1 (i.e. forward
  compatibility is not supported). In case you want to ensure full
  API compatibility with C-Blosc1 API, define the BLOSC1_COMPAT symbol.
