Hi,

I tried to post to the Bioconductor support page, but the link seems to be broken. What parts of the library are included? In particular, are the high-level APIs, such as HDF5 Lite, included? What about H5CPP? Thanks.

You can examine the HDF5 source in the tarball in https://github.com/grimbough/Rhdf5lib/tree/master/src It's a stripped down version of the full source distribution that comes from HDF5 group directly.

It includes the C and C++ libraries, but doesn't include anything that doesn't come from primary HDF5 distrbution, so there's no H5CPP.

Currently it distributes both the low- and high-level APIs so you should be able to use the HDF5 Lite interface.

I'm also happy to take requests if there's things missing that are useful.

Out of interest, where did you find a the broken link to the Bioconductor support page? I'd like to fix that.

That all makes sense. Thank you!

In the README it says: For bug reports, please register an issue here on Github. For usage queries please post a question on the Bioconductor Support Forum. The link "Bioconductor Support Forum" does not seem to work for me.

Thanks, I've updated the link to point to the new support forum URL.
