<p dir="ltr">Hi Elvis,</p>
<p dir="ltr">thank you very much for the info. Yes I saw your package searching in Google; actually I'm using that one but I just wanted to know if it would be official support from vtk.<br>
Again thank you very much, your package is very useful.</p>

Hi Francisco,<br>
<br>
As you can see in the bug report linked by Mathieu, Ghislain (package<br>
maintainer) has withdrawn his intention to package VTK 7 :( I didn't<br>
know this (I was in contact with Ghislain a few months ago, asking<br>
what the progress was).<br>
<br>
As we needed packages of VTK 7 for work (where we use Kubuntu 16.04).<br>
I made a single VTK 7 package and uploaded it to this PPA:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/~elvstone/+archive/ubuntu/vtk7" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~<wbr>elvstone/+archive/ubuntu/vtk7</a><br>
<br>
You can add the repository and install the package with:<br>
<br>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elvstone/vtk7<br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
sudo apt-get install vtk7<br>
<br>
But note that:<br>
<br>
1) This VTK build might not be configured exactly like you want<br>
(see the PPA for what CMake options I used).<br>
2) I'm not updating the PPA anymore as we've switched to using an<br>
internal APT repo, feel free take my package and make your own.<br>
3) The package does not follow Debian packaging policies, e.g:<br>
- It installs everything to /opt/VTK-7.0.0 (to not conflict<br>
with VTK 6 packages from main repos)<br>
- It's one single package (no split -dev packages)<br>
<br>
Regarding Python, this package has Python 3 bindings (though since I<br>
made the package, we've switched to C++ here at work).<br>
<br>
Hope this PPA can be of use until someone steps up to do a proper<br>
Debian packaging of VTK 7.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Elvis<br>
