It is basically ready for debian too since ages (1.8.2), and tagged for experimental. Unfortunately there are still pending issues due to upstream stupidity: in order to generate the thread-safe C library one has to drop C++/Fortran support, that renders the whole thing unviable. AND the MPI support requires thread safety AFAIK. So now i have only to choose if dropping C++/Fortran support or multithread-support. After unuseful discussion with upstream it seems that the only possibility would be diverging from upstream and creating different flavors with different library names and SONAMEs for that: a thread-safe C library, a non-thread-safe C/C++/Fortan libraries set. That would force people to support different names for Debian only which is not something I like so much. The thing could be partially mitigated by the usual h5cc & C tools, but still would imply having multiple conflicting -dev packages. Did you find any better solution for that in 1.8.3? -- Francesco P.
