That's OK, I was just worried that you could not receive mail... > > Currently I've two issues: > (1) packaging the SILO library needed by VISIT. See > ftp://ftp.llnl.gov/pub/visit/3rd_party/silo060605.sh Yeah, that's the only mandatory dependency that's currently missing from Debian, AFAIK. As an aside, please note that, among the optional dependencies, libcgns is now included in Debian: see bug #501924 and http://packages.debian.org/libcgns > (2) Visit appears to need VTK 5.0.0c, while 5.2 is in Debian unstable. Definitely, and 5.4.x is on the way: see bugs #509296 and #531989. I think that everything possible to make VisIt work with VTK 5.2.x (and then 5.4.x) should be done. I don't know whether upstream is willing to help with this task: I hope so, since they are more and more out of date with VTK versions... > > I'm working on this now and hope to have it done over the next two > eeeks.

Thanks for the update and please keep up with the good work! ;-) -- New location for my website!
