Any update on this?
It's been over 6 months and not a single update on this. libhdf5dev (hdf5-devel) is a major dependency for most python data science and machine learning packages. Currently building from source on amazonlinux 2023 which is definitely not ideal...
It is also a non-trivial CVE magnet. How stable is it ABI-wise in general ? Is it something that can realistically just be bumped to the latest version regularly or not ?
It is actually superstable.
It's also been available on amazonlinux 2 for ages

I do not think so (this is on an AL2 machine):
repoquery -i hdf5-devel
Name : hdf5-devel
Version : 1.8.12
Release : 13.el7
Architecture: x86_64
Size : 16175378
Packager : Fedora Project
Group : Development/Libraries
URL : http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/
Repository : epel
Summary : HDF5 development files
Source : hdf5-1.8.12-13.el7.src.rpm
Description :
HDF5 development headers and libraries.
Yeah, it's a package from EPEL, not one we have shipped as part of Amazon Linux.
Frankly, without EPEL Amazon Linux 2 would be nearly useless... I am sure many people do not want to migrate to AL 2023 without something similar to EPEL.
I see that the Fedora/EPEL builds are much older than what is current. The recommended version of hdf5 is 1.14.3. https://portal.hdfgroup.org/downloads/index.html
Fedora SRC RPM: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/hdf5
Fedora hdf5-1.12.1
EPEL 9 hdf5-1.12.1
EPEL 8 hdf5-1.10.5
EPEL 7 hdf5-1.8.12
I downloaded and extracted the precompiled version for Centos 8 and was able to run them on al2023. https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/hdf5-1.14/hdf5-1.14.3/bin/
any updates ??
