Dear all,

Thank you very much for sending a detailed upgrade email to the list covering why the upgrade is happening, etc.

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...

"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.
