Update bindings-hdf5 on Hackage; submit to Stackage

Open eschnett opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I have just looked at the bindings-hdf5 package in the git repository, and while it is a bit dated, it seems to be working fine out of the box. This was a nice surprise.

The HDF5 library does not follow semantic versioning, so it's not expected to work with a current version of HDF5, but after installing HDF5 1.8.13 (from which the *.hsc files were apparently created), I was able make a simple test run without problems.

The version of bindings-hdf5 on Hackage (0.1) is different and is older. Could you update it against the current package? Would you also consider submitting it to Stackage?

There are some advantages to including the HDF5 C library with the bindings-hdf5 package, since it can then automatically be built and installed. Would you consider such an arrangement?

I'll certainly push an update to Hackage today. Can you submit to Stackage once that is done?

@eschnett Released to Hackage as 0.1.2. I confirmed that it builds locally with HDF5 1.8.
