Although Atri does a good job in general, the VTK 9.0 update was IMHO rushed (and thats the reason I did not accept the SR, unfortunately someone else did ...):

1- Fails to build on ARM

A patch would be very helpful, but it would need to be either accepted or acceptable upstream. I would like to avoid carrying patches that require extensive rebasing over and over. Btw, this isn't only about this patch: vtk and paraview had been carrying multiple patches for a year before I went and poked upstream about them (a look at the changelog should make it clear what I am talking about).

2. Java bindings are removed on 15.1, but devel dependencies still reference Java package

Yes, sorry about that. My first instinct was to require cmake >= 3.12 and make it unresolvable for Leap 15.1 which probably would have been better. In any case, I would appreciate if you actually __decline__ the sr the next time... You had ample time and opportunity to do so for this.

and most importantly: 3. VTK 9.0 is API incompatible to FreeCAD and CSXCAD, the two users of VTK in TW.

Surely, that's for these apps to catch up. Thankfully, this is not one of the policies for TW; otherwise, it will make updating any package quite difficult. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
