Add updated ncview #73

Closed alaniwi closed 3 years ago

alaniwi commented 3 years ago

Want ncview 2.1.7.

EPEL has 2.1.2 which is very old. Even the current version 2.1.7 is from March 2016 so maybe this will be the last version.

I have already verified that the source RPM from EPEL for ncview can be used to build 2.1.7 just by changing the source to point to the new version ftp://cirrus.ucsd.edu/pub/ncview/ncview-2.1.7.tar.gz and bumping the version number.

Need to make it part of the SCL to avoid any possible conflicts with later versions inside EPEL.

Note - we should probably not withdraw the ncview from EPEL - then we will have both ncview and jasmin-sci-ncview (activating the SCL will prepend to PATH so that /opt/rh/jasmin-sci/root/usr/bin/ncview will be chosen over /usr/bin/ncview). This will avoid breakage for users currently using the one from EPEL without loading any module.
