* Package name : netcdf-parallel Version : 4.6.1 Upstream Author : University Corporation for Atmospheric Research/Unidata * URL : https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/releases * License : NetCDF (BSD-like) Programming Lang: C Description : Parallel build of NetCDF library This is a fork of the NetCDF library, already present in Debian. It will be identical except: * It will provide MPI, pnetcdf builds rather than serial * The library names will be libnetcdf_mpi, libnetcdf_pnetcdf, etc. (_mpi, _pnetcdf suffixes) * Versioned symbols will be used It is expected that only a few packages that prefer parallel NetCDF will be converted to use this package - most will continue with the original NetCDF package. It is planned to work with upstream to get versioned symbols accepted. This package is necessary because it is not possible currently to enable all functionality in any single build of NetCDF - use of Compression, etc. in netcdf-4 requires a serial build. It is hoped that upstream work will make this package unnecessary in the long term (post-Buster)
