So swarm needs the older 1.6.9 version of hdf5 provided by the "hdf5" port and cannot be used with the latest stable version 1.8.4 provided by the "hdf5-18" port? I was hoping we could get rid of the legacy "hdf5" port because I thought we had switched over all ports requiring hdf5 to use the hdf5-18.
