lets re-evaluate this with a new RFS bug once things are clear/ready :)

Hello,

I'm still considering the idea, but your remarks are really relevant. As I
will clearly have no time for that until march 2018 at the best, I think
we'd better close the RFS and reset the things as they were.

unmaintainable on the long run

if you want to fork, consider that this might be a lot time consuming

I theoretically do because it'd offer a basic vtk support in python3 that
VTK currently do not provide (at least in debian). That said, I'm concerned
regarding the current state of the project.

As for an example, I submitted a bug report in december regarding issues for
python3 support[1], and no answer came.

I suspect that the author of the project moved to something else.

I then have three solutions:

 * Package the thing with this actual bug, but as far as I'm concerned I
   consider it as grave, so I'm not really a fan of this idea.
 * Patch the issue myself, as a debian patch, and package the thing with it.
 * Fork the project (it's BSD 2-Clause license), patch it, and provide it as
   a personnal work, with credit to the original author.

What do you think about this?

Cheers,

Hey,

Since I had no news I got to do other things but I'm eager to
fetch new version of the package if any and repackage it.

Are you still interested in?
