Dear Utkarsh, If by any chance you guys reach the conclusion that it currently isn't sustainable to provide said development binaries, I humbly request that you guys at least provide the "seeds" for rebuilding the respective binaries, namely ParaView and Open-MPI. This way anyone can rebuild these projects from near scratch, but with the same settings you've used for the release versions.
If I'm not mistaken, the "seeds" should include the following information and data for each installer/package that is released (for example, for Windows one set for 32bit and another set for 64bit): * A README file with the OS and Compiler information and the package versions of ParaView, Open-MPI and possibly Qt. If any other third-party package is also included, then please indicate said version as well. * The "CMakeCache.txt" files for ParaView and Open-MPI, as well as any other similar file that might be necessary. Feel free to search-n-replace any sensitive data that might be in these files, such as user and machine names. If at least these "seed" files are made available to the public, it'll be easier to create ready-to-be-used plugins for ParaView. >From my point of view, each set can either be placed here on this mailing list (or the dev one) or in a zip file at "www.paraview.org/files/v*". The size footprint for each probably won't go above 30kB in zip packaging. I've already tried to search for these files in the CDash online build benches and failed to find them. My idea in the short time is to open an unofficial online and open project for providing the respective headers, library interfaces and CMake files that are "missing" from the official release binary versions. For the Windows releases, this is should be practically possible. For Linux and Mac, it might also be possible, if the same OS and compiler versions are used to recreate the released files. On a later stage, I'll try (or anyone else in the world) to create additional rules in ParaView's CMake source files for adding additional installer project/makefiles to provide other 2 installer packages: "just dev" and "dev+bin". When the "rough edges" are taken care of, these new rules can be submitted upstream for making your life easier in future releases, for providing the standard releases and the add-on development files for plug-in development or simply for using the third-party libraries such as VTK and Open-MPI (while the latter 1.5.x is in beta).
