#16263: hdf5 update 1.6.7 -> 1.8.1 ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: mmoll@macports.org | Owner: jochen@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Updates Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by jochen@macports.org): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: I would prefer to not update hdf5 from 1.6 to 1.8 at this point, since there are to many API incompatibilities. Instead, I would suggest to prepare a hdf5-1.8 package and use that instead. Maybe the current hdf5 port should also be renamed hdf5-1.6 and the two should be declared to conflict with each other, but in the long run that is the better path. Alternatively, you could provide a hdf5-devel port as suggested in the Portfile, but then we still need to switch from 1.6 to 1.8 in the standard port at some point. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16263#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
