[vtk-developers] Request: turn off BTX/ETX in some dashboad builds

[David Cole]

Maybe as a community, we should all be brave enough to simply turn the
option on in the CMakeLists.txt file for a few days and see what happens on
all the existing dashboards. We can always turn it right back off after even
just one day if it introduces massive problems.
