Hi Gert and other VTK keepers,
I'm by no means a VTK keeper but I guess you found me via:
https://lists.debian.org/150980836026.28076.14119532204188467883@localhost
I was trawling the records looking for Kyle, but found you instead :)
Kyle was discussing with us in April 2018, but I couldn't find it by
search (google is really really bad at finding information in Debian
mailing lists. I fear google is getting worse and worse at its job
every year). I later found Kyle on his blog at
https://blog.kitware.com/rethinking-debian-packaging-for-vtk-and-other-cmake-projects-part-2/
. Thereby remembering his name, I found the April discussions.
what's the state of VTK-8 for Debian?
The packaging now lives here:
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/vtk8
And as far as I can see, everything seems to be how I left it in 2017.
So there
is nothing more to add from my side. I guess you could just clone this
repository and build your own vtk8 package for your use-case.
Thanks Josch. Good to know the repo exists, that's a good start.
Drew
