Hi, Would you consider preparing this package for experimental? I agree it might be too much of a hurry for Sarge, but we can test if anything breaks. Now, are you sure this implies an incompatible ABI? The version change seems to be minor (although, yes, important functionality has been added, so...) >From a simple analysis, the only packages that directly depend on hdf5 are h5utils, mpb and tessa (maintained by you) the Octave suite, kmatplot and python2.[234]-tables... It should not be too hard to recompile them, in the most extreme case ;-) But of course, it is your call. I don't think that, even if I had the Zori packages ready by tomorrow, they would be included in Sarge.
