Review Request: g2lib - GRIB2 encoder/decoder and search/indexing routines
Last modified: 2009-08-03 18:01:35 EDT
Spec URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/g2lib.spec SRPM URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/g2lib-1.0.9-1.fc8.src.rpm Description: This library contains Fortran 90 decoder/encoder routines for GRIB edition 2, as well as indexing/searching utility routines. The user API for the GRIB2 routines is described in file "grib2.doc".
Any test programs I could use to verify that the package is working?
- I'm hesitant about the placement of the module files -- perhaps %{_libdir}/g2lib would be a better place? - I'm not a Fortran expert, but this seems to suggest that .mod files are susceptible to ABI breaks. In that case you'd have to Requires: the appropriate version of gcc-gfortran. Any idea? - 1.10 is out
The mod files placement has been discussed on the packaging list and the draft was accepted: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/FortranModulesDir Still blocked by the needed changes in fedora rpm macros.
Use fmoddir and update to latest: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/g2lib-1.1.6-1.fc10.src.rpm One thing worth noting is that I change the library name for something more specific and less prone to clashes.

Ping. I've not been noticing this bug because its blocker has not changed status -- is the matter resolved?
It has been resolved since a long time on F10, but I reopened it for F9. Nobody seems to care, and Jakub disagrees on the placement of the fortran modules anyway, so I closed the bug. The real issue for that submission is that I have left Fedora... Nobody have shown interest in that submission, so maybe the best is to close it.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you'll be back, though.
