Hi Youhei,

Thanks for packaging the latest upstream release and your prompt response.

ruby-netcdf (0.7.1.1-1) no longer fails the main() check, but it doesn't
accept the 4.4.0-rc version we currently have in experimental:

 extconf.rb:55:in `<main>': Invalid netcdf version: 4.4.0-rc. Use
--with-netcdf-version= (RuntimeError)

Patching the version check regex to support an optional -rc suffix
allows the build to start (patch attached), but it fails to find the
HDF5 libraries:

 gcc -shared -o netcdfraw.so netcdfraw.o -L. \
   -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib \
   -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.1.0 -L. \
   -Wl,-z,relro -L/build/ruby2.1-_39Jjj/ruby2.1-2.1.5/debian/lib \
   -fstack-protector -rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic \
   -L/usr/lib -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lz -ldl -lm -lcurl -lruby-2.1 \
   -lpthread -lgmp -ldl -lcrypt -lm -lc
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5_hl
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This is a common problem with the new netcdf packages in experimental.
I'm not sure all affected reverse dependencies need to specify the hdf5
library themselves, we should probably fix this in libnetcdf-dev by
patching nc-config & netcdf.pc.

Kind Regards,

Bas
