It sounds like you've tried emailing the authors for advice. Is that right?
I tried 2 addresses that I found in the source distributions, but both addresses bounced.
It looks like this gctp-2.0 is bundled with wgrib2 [0]. If there is noindependent repository for GCTP, I'd assume that GCTP is altered independently for each application that it's bundled with. If so, I think it makes sense to use the bundled copy of GCTP.Otherwise, we are basically forking GCTP and creating a new distribution of it, and that would require us to maintain it and test its integrationwith HDF-EOS5.
Indeed, I believe GCTP is not maintained anymore, and each project using it makes a few small adjustments. From the changelog, it seems GCTP was last changed March 1998.
If there's not much interest to include HDF-EOS right now, I could also maintain the libraries as a custom packages somewhere, for the few people who need them. I think one of the great things about Guix is that packages defined by users or third parties integrate so easily with the main repository.
best, Thomas
