[vtk-developers] RE: cmake

[Ken Martin]

Here it is in a nutshell...

1) VTK 4.0 builds with CMake 1.0 (and should build with later releases
of CMake as well)
2) The VTK development tree will always build with the latest CMake
release

To make life easier I have added a LatestRelease tag for CMake so that
updates can be done in cron jobs without having to know the actual
release name of the last release. The confusion you have may be that
you consider the development tree for VTK to be version 4.0. VTK 4.0
has been branched and no more development is happening on it. The
development tree is VTK 4.1 which will be developed for a while and
then eventually released.

See item 2 above. That is my understanding.
