[DRE-maint] grib_api 1.9.16 uploaded to unstable

[Enrico Zini]

Hello,

I have just uploaded the new version 1.9.16 of grib_api to sid. The new
shlib package is libgrib-api-1.9.16 which should eventually replace
libgrib-api-1.9.9.

Since upstream has chosen to embed the full package version in the shlib
name via "libtool -release", this means that all reverse dependencies of
grib_api need to be recompiled with the new version to update their
dependencies[1].

The grib_api API is stable enough, so a binary NMU of all reverse
dependencies should do. Can it be scheduled whenever you feel like it's
a good time?

[background info for grib_api users: as of 22 Mar 2012, ECMWF has
released version 1.9.16 of grib_api, and since 18 April 2012 at 11:30
UTC, 1.9.16 will be the default version on all ECMWF systems]


Ciao,

Enrico

[1] in case you Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers are wondering what I am
    talking about: ruby-grib is the package in question
