Dear Maintainer(s),

since SZIP is essentially non-free, although the corresponding patents are no
longer, and our share-holders wanted to use it in other libraries (libcdi) for
another file format (GRIB), DKRZ provides a free implementation of the same
algorithms at [1]. We'd like to see the library get used more widely.

Regards, Thomas Jahns

Hello,
The bug tracker is not the best way to request a package. Please see this post on our forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41850

It also appears that there has been a package in the AUR for libaec since 2015-07-19, which is after this feature request was filed.
The AUR page is here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libaec/
Suggesting this feature request be closed.

Sorry folks, I don't feel competent enough to make a decision about this. Felix, feel free to package it if it makes any sense.

Is this still actively supported by upstream?
