Yes, the idea here is to make something that is fit for official Debian packaging. > Kyle has made it really clear that they intend to support the various > realities they will probably face if people start using it everywhere > to create good quality packaging, so yes, I also applaud the > effort... now ;-) Thank you Lisandro! I'm glad I was able to address your concerns, and I think this has been a really good discussion. Ian, thanks for the feedback, and if you have minor technical questions please feel free to ask them, either on- or off-list :) I think it makes sense for dh-cmake to live primarily in VTK for now, and then, as we work out the issues, hopefully we will see other packages start to adopt it as well. I will keep everyone updated as both dh-cmake and the VTK packaging are developed. We are hoping for an official Debian release of both packages towards the end of the year. Kyle
