Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
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?

| Summary: | RFE: VTK-4.4 interim releases → UPDATE: VTK-4.4.2 |
VTK 4.4.2 is listed by Kitware as the previous release. so this port should change from something new to an update.

I hope this worked ... I didn't finish testing before it was committed.

Changes are still uncommitted for VTK 4.4, and I'm reopening the ticket because it's a completely different version from the newer vtk5.

I checked out the latest version from cvs (-D 2005/07/07), and it works fine with the resolution to BUG #3895 put into place. I can provide VTK-20050707.tar.bz2 for use in compiling the latest development version of VTK 4.5. What might be the best way to differentiate between the different versions? Should I name the new port 'vtk-interim' or 'vtk5', for example?
