I can confirm that I had a look into igstk in our Advend bug squashing party. I commited the point when I gave up which was somehow connected to the fact that libvtk6-java was hanging ages in new. I had the impression that VTK6 might be supported by the latest version 5.2 but I'm not sure. I personally have no free time slices to verify this. I have no idea whether the bad maintenance of this package or the fact that there is really no interest might lead to popcon zero. If nobody raises his hand to volunteer maintaining this package in a short time frame I'd be fine with removing it. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
