+Optional CDF5 support
+---------------------
+
+CDF5 support is not yet enabled by default. According to the release
+notes [1], reading and writing CDF5 files on 32-bit platforms may
+result in unexpected behavior when using extremely large variables. If
+you need CDF5 support, please pass the option 'CDF5=yes' to the netcdf
+SlackBuild, for example
+
+ CDF5=yes ./netcdf.SlackBuild
