MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hdf-compass-git [2]: This experimental viewer for the HDF5 format has been discontinued in 2016. Package last updated in 2017; it is now broken because Python 2 support of HDF5 got discontinued in 2019 and now the python2-h5py binding fails to compile. This package is not worth keeping as there are currently supported tools (binary and Python 3 based) for the hdf5 scientific data format. Safe to delete this package as nothing depends on it.
