libhdf4 4.2r4-6 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

libhdf4 (4.2r4-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Reintroduced ncdump-hdf and ncgen-hdf tools with their man pages.
    (closes: #545818)
  * Now replaces config.{sub,guess} with current ones at config time.
    (closes: #545057)
  * Manuals and examples finally updated to current ones now available
    upstream. 
  * Now libhdf4-doc provides/conflicts/replaces the old libhdf4g-doc
    to allow correct upgrading. This is an RC bug in upgrading libhdf4-doc.
  * Policy bumped to 3.8.3.

libhdf4 (4.2r4-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Removed strict version dependency for libhdf4g-dev on libhdf4-dev
    dependency, erroneously left around for the transitional package.
    (closes: #544288)
  * Note that 4.2 series definitively closes the old netcdf linking issue.
    (closes: #488086)

libhdf4 (4.2r4-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Do not install conflicting stuff already present in netcdf package.
    (closes: #538933)
  * Ack already fixed bugs (closes: #482914, #531688)

libhdf4 (4.2r4-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload to unstable.
  * Set -alt package priority to extra.
  * Now debian/control.in is truly in sync with debian/control.

libhdf4 (4.2r4-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * [PATCH] shared_fortran: Fortran shared library support reintroduced.
    The shared mixed model libraries are available only for regular flavor.
    Changed documentation as consequence.

libhdf4 (4.2r4-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. 
    Now upstream uses libtool to support C-only shared libraries, so
    Debian patches can be finally dropped. See NEWS for novelties about
    that.
  * Updated homepage to use the .org address instead of the .com one.
  * Added missing .PHONY field in debian/rules and revised everywhere targets.
  * Removed gfortran build-dep.
  * Changed binary package names to reflect breakage of back-compatibility.
  * A special patch 'autotools' has been introduced to create the -alt flavor
    by changing library names and autoreconf. 
  * A lot of changes in debian/rules.
  * Binary packages lost 'g' suffix for transition. Still provided libhdf4g-dev
    as a transitional dummy package to simplify rebuilding by binNMU for
    all rdepends.

libhdf4 (4.2r3-3) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fixed section for libhdf4g-dev package.
  * Added a re-relicensing statement for NetCDF stuff enclosed in the 
    netcdf-copyright-statement mbox. That removes the deprecated advertising
    clause used in the 1993 BSD-like license for NetCDF.
  * debian/copyright updated and completed. Thanks Joerg Jaspert.

libhdf4 (4.2r3-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Introduced new libhdf4g-alt and libhdf4g-alt-dev packages. See
    README.Debian for an explanation of the new flavors of the HDF4
    libraries. Also introduced new SONAMES which correspond to the new
    libraries. The new -dev package should be used as alternative
    to the traditional one, mainly for GDAL use, but not exclusively.
    Note that the two -dev packages are alternative because it is
    not expected that people use both at the same time.
    (closes: #488086)
  * Now libraries are compiled with two different sets of arguments
    to produce the standard and -alt flavors.
  * Fixed comments in changelog.
  * Added Vcs-* fields to debian/control.in.
  * Synchronized control.in.
  * Added a NEWS.Debian file.

libhdf4 (4.2r3-1) experimental; urgency=low

  The "The long way towards the 3rd millennium!" release.

  * New upstream release. One of the main changes is now that both zlib and
    jpeg libraries are not more embedded. Also configuration
    has been updated for modern architectures (amd64 and ppc64) and endianess
    is now dinamically found. That allow dropping some Debian patches to
    upstream code. Still it needs extended patches to support shared
    libraries, which are not provided by upstream. Also retained Debian
    additional manpages and documentation.
  * Added a README.Debian.
  * Debian SONAME retained lib*.so.4 for compatibility, but changed solibs 
    to a more conventional lib*.so.4.2.3 name.
    (closes: #217010, #482914, #437098)
    Merges from 4.1r4 series:
  	o Introduced versioned conflicts against libhdf4-run.

        o Moved to use gfortran.
          (closes: #456297)
        o Moved libhdf4g-dev to libdevel section as by ftpmasters override.
        o Fixes for ppc64 and x86_64 are already merged upstream. 
  * Debian support modernized to use debhelper. Rules file rewritten
    from scratch to simplify mantainance.
  * Moved to quilt to mantain Debian patches to upstream code. Old patches
    updated due to some merged changes in upstream code.
  * Debhelper compatibility set to 5.
  * Added a README.source to explain differences introduced into
    upstream sources to support Debian way of life.
  * Moved to use modern ${binary:Version} in debian/control.in.
