HDF5-1.10 transition is done and libhdf5-java and libhdf5-jni are now in
unstable.

The hdf5 package now in Debian experimental builds the java wrapper
library shipped with hdf5-1.10: libhdf5-java, libhdf5-jni.

Thanks for your feedback.
 
> I will keep you updated.

This would be very helpful.  Just to let you know:  If you want to have
JHDF5 distributed with the next stable Debian release the deadline for a
fix would be about Christmas since there is a freeze at 5.1.2017 and the
package needs 10 days from beeing uploaded to make it into the pool
called "testing" where all release candidates are residing.

Kind regards and thanks for your cooperation

  Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

the migration of JHDF5 to HDF5 1.10 is ongoing and mostly depend on me
having a block of time I can spend on it. Your analysis of the work that
needs to be done is right from what I can see. The plan is to switch to
using the JNI library from the HDF group wherever possible (it may still
be necessary to have a small JNI library though as some calls appear to
be missing).

I will keep you updated.

Kind regards,

Bernd

 Hmmm, sorry, no - I just made sure that the *sid* pbuilder environment

Hi Bernd,

I'm hereby forwarding the main parts of the discussion of the bug report
which might contain hints what to do to make jhdf5 compliant with hdf5
version 1.10.

It would be nice if you could give us a hint if you were able to fix this.

Kind regards

  Andreas.
