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

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 ?
