 Since better alternatives to libCF exist we won't include libCF in
 Debian anymore in the foreseeable future. If libCF development resumes
 we'll reconsider including it again when that time comes.

Yes - tagging this as won't fix until development resumes upstream.

In the meantime, I will do fresh ITP's for cf-python, ESMF  ESMPy.

Cheers,

Ross

 This package as will be maintained within the Debian GIS Team alongside
 the netCDF libraries which it depends upon.

Basic packaging is available in git:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/netcdf-libcf.git

The package is unlikely to be uploaded before netcdf 4.1.3 is superseded
by version 4.3.3 though.

 netcdf-libcf may be a more appropriate source package name, since libCF
 is closely tied to netCDF.

Yes, good point. All the netCDF packages should have uniform source
package names.

  Description : Library to process data files in the Climate and Forecast
(CF) convention

 NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is an interface for scientific
 data access and a freely-distributed software library that provides an
 implementation of the interface.  The netCDF library also defines a
 machine-independent format for representing scientific data.
 Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation,
 access, and sharing of scientific data.

 This package contains the add-on CF run-time C shared library that uses
 the NetCDF API to manage Climate and Forecasts standards compliant
 data files.

The netcdf package used to contain the CF library. However, the
latest netcdf tarball no longer contains it, and the CF library is released
separately. A transition including the netCDF libraries will be
coordinated.

This package as will be maintained within the Debian GIS Team alongside
the netCDF libraries which it depends upon.
