Re: Skip VTK7 and go directly VTK8? Was: Re: vtk6 and vtk7

I've pushed my changes for the Python 3 in the vtk7 repo. If you want to upload it, or first move it all to vtk8 and upload that, that'd be fine by me. We could then go ahead and try to resolve the python conflicts.

Cheers,
Nico

I think one can actually set the conflicts and replaces properly to
allow upgrading oldstable-stable-buster, and AFAIK a direct upgrade
from oldstable to testing doesn't need to be supported.

I had a look through the conflicting files, and for pyhon there were
not many (pvtk and pvtkython come to mind).

I am done, I could upload with python2, or you can push changes to make
it python3, and then we resolve the conflicts while it is in
experimental.
