hdf5-1.6.0 is out. diffs from 1.4.5 ebuild include: SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/src/${P}.tar.gz" S=${WORKDIR}/${P} also, there are some patches in: ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/src/patches/ that are of interest, including at least one bug fix. (See the README at ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/src/README for details.)
Hi James. Thanks for the nitification! I have updated and committed the ebuild. Please test. Could you do some clarification on patches (since I presume you actually use the library ;)): README says, that 3 first patches are "no longer necessary with 1.6.0". This leaves only two fortran patches for different architectures. I presume they provide some performance boots under certain circumstances, but there should be trade-offs (otherwise why these fortran routines are not in the default?). Could you please clarify this a bit? George
as 1.6.0 is in portage and there are no news for month, might be time to close this bug
reclosing the bug. Actually I just committed 1.6.1 and marked 1.6.0 stable George
