Hi all. I looked through the mailing list archives for eccodes and grib and found only a few hits on the latter related to some testing in gdal. Eccodes is a library that handles grib data and is actively maintained by the European weather center, and is distributed open source.
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC It would make a nice complement to the existing scientific libraries such as netcdf, hdf5, etc.. It can be built and installed as a python pip module easily enough, but I'm a C++ developer and that one isnt quite as straightforward. It's not a horrible build, but it requires a bit of creativity. I'd be happy to build / maintain the port for this if no one knows a reason why not. With OpenBSDs secure, streamlined architecture, and with this good weather data support, we can make some inroads into that community I bet. -- Chris Benesch BeneschTech, LLC
