Bug#395573: RFP: visit -- interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool
Hi,
Sorry about the delay in repsonding.
I'm not currently actively working on visit; (I did some checks this week).
You can see my current work at:
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/visit/tree/debian/master
Basically, VisIt doesn't build against VTK6 or VTK7 as in Debian at the
moment. I had been waiting on changes to VTK
(There was a plan possibly to move to VTK8), but this has stalled;
(See
https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=debian-science@lists.debian.org&q=subject:%22Re%5C%3A+Skip+VTK7+and+go+directly+VTK8%5C%3F+Was%5C%3A+Re%5C%3A+vtk6+and+vtk7%22&o=newest&f=1)
It appears that work on VTK 7 / VTK8 has stalled due to lack of need for
a new VTK8 from other users in Debian. If I get the time, I might
investigate what needs to be done, but this is unlikely at the moment,
Regards
Alastair

Hi Alastair,
Are you still working on visit packaging for Debian? I'm very
interested in
the package. However I fail myself to get it built at all from source...
