Package: libhdf5-dev Version: 1.14.5+repack-4 Severity: wishlist Hi! Would it be possible to include cmake config files (e.g. `hdf5-config.cmake`) files to the package too to simplify package consumption for cmake based projects? I'm not very familar with the build system used to build this package, but I assume it's using autotools - which explains missing cmake configs. HDF5 2.0 release dropped support for autotools. So since build system switch is ineviitable, could cmake also be used to build one of the package versions <2.0, so it will be possible to consume package using cmake configs? Or switching package build system could have other unexpected consequences, so better to do it on the major version change? Thank you!
