[Package Request] - ecCodes #520

Open johnwaghorn opened 9 months ago

johnwaghorn commented 9 months ago

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.

ecCodes is a package developed by ECMWF which provides an application programming interface and a set of tools for decoding and encoding messages in the following formats:

A useful set of command line tools provide quick access to the messages. C, Fortran 90 and Python interfaces provide access to the main ecCodes functionality.

ecCodes is an evolution of GRIB-API. It is designed to provide the user with a simple set of functions to access data from several formats with a key/value approach.

Is this an update to existing package or new package request?

New package request for AWS Linux 2023

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify.

Yes, I believe via EPEL. (thanks to @stewartsmith for pointing that out)

sudo yum search eccodes

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)

ecCodes can be used by Meteorological Offices around the world where GRIB is a file format used for example.

So, I don't see it on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/removed-AL2023.2-AL2.html but I do see it listed as EPEL7 here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/eccodes

So I believe this is a package coming from EPEL rather than AL2.
