Re: VTK6 fixes

[Alastair McKinstry <alastair.mckinstry@sceal.ie>]

Hi,

I packaged libxmdf (2) as a dependency for VisIt which i'm working on
packaging.
At the moment xmdf3 does not have a fixed tarball; the only rdep of
libxdmf-dev is vtk.
We should talk in more detail about separating xmdf3 from VTK6 and
upgrade libxmdf-dev to xdmf3

regards
Alastair
