[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#537414: please default to 1.8 interface for hdf5-1.8.x

[Chun-Chung Chen]

Package: hdf5
Version: 1.8.3-1
Severity: wishlist

When default to 1.8 interface, building packages using 1.6 interface can 
be done with CFLAGS="-DH5_USE_16_API". However, there is no similar 
mechanism available for building packages using 1.8 interface when 1.6 
is the default. One will have to modify the source code manually for all 
occurrences of changed prototypes.
