Hi Marco, Thanks for the long and clear explanation, after reading it I was able to reproduce it in raring this way:
$ wget https://code.zmaw.de/attachments/3103/t2m_ei_1979.grb $ sudo apt-get install cdo $ cdo sellonlatbox,23,31,-25,-31 t2m_ei_1979.grb tagliato_t2m_ei_1979.grb $ wget ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wd51we/wgrib/wgrib.c $ gcc -o wgrib wgrib.c $ ./wgrib -v t2m_ei_1979.grb | head -n 8 1:0:D=1979010100:2T:sfc:kpds=167,1,0:anl:type=analysis:winds are N/S:"2 metre temperature [K] ... With the 'anl' definition after kpds=167,1,0: After recompiling with the --enable-cgribex option it behaves as expected, with the following output: $ ./wgrib -v t2m_ei_1979.grb | head -n 8 1:0:D=1979010100:2T:sfc:kpds=167,1,0:3hr:type=analysis:winds are N/S:"2 metre temperature [K] I looked into the changelog and cgribex was disabled in the first place for this report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633934 So, I'd like to know if that error is still happening with this version, I've uploaded precise/quantal/raring patched cdo versions to my ppa so you can test them. Specifically the part that says 'Error (decodeIS) : GRIB version 2 unsupported!' $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chilicuil/pmx $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade $ rm tagliato_t2m_ei_1979.grb $ cdo sellonlatbox,23,31,-25,-31 t2m_ei_1979.grb tagliato_t2m_ei_1979.grb $ ./wgrib -v t2m_ei_1979.grb | head -n 8 I was able to test successfully the steps in the three ubuntu versions: cdo - 1.5.6.1+dfsg.1-2ubuntu3 - raring cdo - 1.5.4+dfsg.1-4build2 - quantal cdo - 1.5.3.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1 - precise If the patched version doesn't work with GRIB version 2 I suspect it may be difficult to be accepted in Ubuntu, probably GRIB2 will have preference over GRIB1 Have a nice day --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #633934 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633934 ** Changed in: cdo (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1023329 Title: cdo does not do what it is supposed to do To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdo/+bug/1023329/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
