Dear all, I would like to start working on VTK package, in particular the VTK 5.8.0 release. As seen recently VTK package is becoming a beast to maintain, as such I would like to move this package over to debian-science-maint, and add myself as Uploader (and also switch DM-Upload to Yes).
The now famous bug #506992, seems to need a slightly different approach now in VTK 5.8 as the old EXPORT_LIBRARY_DEPENDENCIES() call has been replaced with proper new function : install(EXPORT). One now need to fix vtk-5.8/VTKTargets-debug.cmake to have proper full path to libraries (eg. vtkIO.so ...) Could the vtk package maintainer confirm, that: - I can move the git repository from collab-maint to debian-science git repository - What is the convention used for packaging vtk in git ? Do you use git-buildpackage ? Is there a tutorial page which describe the convention as used for vtk ? How do I import my patch over to a git debian repository ? I do have some time to work on it now, this would be very helpful I believe to have a VTK 5.8.0 in experimental as early as possible. My current VTK 5.8.0 package can be found at: https://alioth.debian.org/~malat-guest/vtk/ Thanks for your time, -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
