I've now also tested 1.14.2+ds1-1 which finally landed in -proposed (the 1.14.0+ds1-1 build failed because of an alignment issue on ARM that was subsequently fixed).
The package is looking good (transcript of testing below). root@f0b7772b23f5:/usr/share/doc/libblosc-dev/examples# apt-cache policy libblosc* libblosc-dev: Installed: 1.14.2+ds1-1 Candidate: 1.14.2+ds1-1 Version table: *** 1.14.2+ds1-1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-proposed/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.11.1+ds2-3 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages libblosc1: Installed: 1.14.2+ds1-1 Candidate: 1.14.2+ds1-1 Version table: *** 1.14.2+ds1-1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-proposed/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.11.1+ds2-3 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages root@f0b7772b23f5:/usr/share/doc/libblosc-dev/examples# for f in many_compressors.c multithread.c noinit.c simple.c; do gcc -o $f.out $f -lblosc && ./$f.out; done Blosc version info: 1.14.2 ($Date:: 2018-03-16 #$) Using 4 threads (previously using 1) Using blosclz compressor Compression: 4000000 -> 41384 (96.7x) Succesful roundtrip!
