Bug#637397: Fwd: Re: Bug#637397: Possible solutions

[Alastair McKinstry]

Hi,

I see that as maintainer of VTK you were not on the CC: list, so I'm 
forwarding this email
to you directly: do you think it would be much work to build an 
experimental vtk5.8 package?

regards
Alastair McKinstry

I am also awaiting VTK 5.8 for VisIt packaging. Perhaps we should consider
doing an vtk5.8 package in experimental, to discover issues and report them
ahead of time to VTK / VisIT / Paraview developers ?
