#3688: UPDATE: VTK-4.4.2 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: cssdev@mac.com | Owner: css@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Updates Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: vtk | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@macports.org): * port: => vtk Old description:
VTK 4.2 follows one version of the VTK API, but VTK 4.4 provides a transition API moving toward VTK 5. There are "interim" releases available from the VTK website:
http://www.vtk.org/get-software.php#interim http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2003-December/070809.html
It would be useful to have a way to grab this interim release for use with code that targets the newer API. The CVS HEAD does include development for 4.4.x, but the interim releases might be a little more stable than checking out the latest bleeding edge code from CVS. Technically, the devel variant should be version 4.4, not 4.3. Since VTK 4.2 and VTK 4.4 are considered different, how might DarwinPorts support both these versions?
