Dear all,

I think an update of the epel eccodes packages is needed, since ECMWF
will be starting to generate data files soon that can only be accessed
using this version.
As stated on this page:
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/COPSRV/Implementation+of+IFS+cycle+48r1+for+CAMS

"To handle CCSDS compressed fields from 48r1 with ecCodes, version
2.30.0 or newer is recommended."

This version contains some changes needed to decode the new compressed
GRIB files.

Apart from this the changes are mostly in the file definition tables
that come with this package, which are needed to read the latest fields
that have been added in the formal WMO (World Meteorological
Organization) table definitions.

See also this user request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2208249

Therefore I plan to update the eccodes package for EPEL 7/8/9 soon from
version 2.23.0 / 2.26.0 to version 2.30.0.

I am not aware of any significant API/interface changes, and therefore
the so version will not change.

If there are any objections to updating this package please let me know.

Jos de Kloe
