[EPEL-devel] update needed for eccodes

2023-05-18 Thread Jos de Kloe

Dear all,

I think an update of the epel eccodes packages is needed, since ECMWF 
will be starting to generate data files soon that can only be accessed 
using this version.

As stated on this page:
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/COPSRV/Implementation+of+IFS+cycle+48r1+for+CAMS

"To handle CCSDS compressed fields from 48r1 with ecCodes, version 
2.30.0 or newer is recommended."


This version contains some changes needed to decode the new compressed 
GRIB files.


Apart from this the changes are mostly in the file definition tables 
that come with this package, which are needed to read the latest fields 
that have been added in the formal WMO (World Meteorological 
Organization) table definitions.


See also this user request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2208249

Therefore I plan to update the eccodes package for EPEL 7/8/9 soon from 
version 2.23.0 / 2.26.0 to version 2.30.0.


I am not aware of any significant API/interface changes, and therefore 
the so version will not change.


If there are any objections to updating this package please let me know.

[EPEL-devel] update needed for eccodes

2021-10-11 Thread Jos de Kloe
Dear all,

I plan to update the eccodes package for EPEL 7/8 soon from version
2.18.0 to version 2.23.0. This is needed since ECMWF will be starting
to generate data files soon that can only be accessed using this
version. See also BZ 2012783 and ECMWF Confluence page
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/FCST/Implementation+of+IFS+Cycle+47r3#ImplementationofIFSCycle47r3-ChangestoGRIBencoding.

The actual change is mostly in the data files that come with this
package and that are needed to decode the new GRIB files. I am not
aware of any significant API/interface changes, and therefore the so
version will not change.

If there are any objections to updating this package please let me know.
