[DebianGIS-dev] HDF5 version 1.8?

[Per B. Sederberg]

Hi HDF5 packagers:

I'm developing a python library that makes use of the netCDF4 library,
which in turn relies on HDF5 1.8.X.

I was wondering if you had any plan to provide debian packages for the
1.8 branch of HDF5, which the HDF folks recommend for new users?  If
not, though I have never created a debian package before, would you be
willing to provide guidance to me to modify your existing packages?

Thanks,
Per
