Bug#395573: RFP: visit -- interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool

[Alastair McKinstry]

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-scie...@lists.debian.org=subject:%22Re%5C%3A+Skip+VTK7+and+go+directly+VTK8%5C%3F+Was%5C%3A+Re%5C%3A+vtk6+and+vtk7%22=newest=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...

Hi,

I finally got through the compilation's errors.

So if you take my repo, you should be able to build into sbuild a deb
package for visit. It does build with python2 and Qt5.

Be careful, it doesn't respect the Debian way at all : The FHS is not
respected and some libraries are bundle in it (gfortran, etc.). I have
build only one big .deb, but it may be split (python-visit, visit-dev,
etc.).

I also had to disable some functionalities in visit (HDF5, Silo, GDAL),
BoxLib, as it triggers some  compilation's errors.

It is sufficient for our internal needs, so I won't invest more time in
it. But if anyone wants to bring visit into Debian, feel free to use my
work, it could be a start.

Kind regards,

Adrien

  Description : interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis 
tool

VisIt is a free interactive parallel visualization and graphical
analysis tool for viewing scientific data.  Users can quickly generate
visualizations from their data, animate them through time, manipulate
them, and save the resulting images for presentations.  VisIt contains
a rich set of visualization features so that you can view your data in
a variety of ways.  It can be used to visualize scalar and vector
fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured and
unstructured meshes.
VisIt was designed to handle very large data set sizes in the terascale
range and yet can also handle small data sets in the kilobyte range.
