Hello, in order to have a system wide availability of the lzf plugin, it woud 
be nice to install it under the

hdf5 plugin directory.

you can find the directory with pkg-config and the variable PluginDir for each 
flavour of hdf5

Name: HDF5
Description: Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) - serial version
Version: 1.10.6
Requires: 
Cflags: -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial
Libs: -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial -lhdf5

PluginDir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/plugins

Idealy these plugin should be linked and compile with the corresponding hdf5 
library.

I am wondering also if this should not be provided in a dedicated binary 
packages.
This way we could have a meta package which should depends on all the available 
plugins.

then all other source package which provide these plugin could do the same.

and hdf5 could recommendes all the plugins.

we could imagine a name like this for these package

hdf5-plugin-<name>-<flavour>

then we could create a

hdf5-plugin-all-<flavour>

thanks for considering.

Frederic
