[Ctk-developers] CTK support VTK trunk

[Dominique Belhachemi]

Hi,

I would like to support CTK too :)

If I understand the situation correctly then CTK was using VTK stable
and Julien was thinking about to switch to VTK trunk. I think such a
step would also delay a CTK release because you would have to wait for
the next VTK release.

For now, I agree with Stephen and I am fine with the VTK situation
because I am not using it. But later there might arise weird dependency
issues.

Happy hacking!
Dominique
