[vtk-developers] Bug Tracker: How to deal with issues closed in error?

[Dan Lipsa]

Hi Peter,
In VTK we include many external library which are used by default by the
build system. The symbols in these libraries are mangled, so no problem is
created if a system uses both VTK and a system library included by VTK.
We do offer the option for VTK to use a system library instead of the
included one. However, the version of that external library has to be close
to the version included in VTK so that the API is identical. Sometimes we
try to support several versions - especially if this support is driven by
paying customers.

For #14126, can you detail what is the problem that persists?

Regarding 'expired issues' you should be able to edit an expired issue if
you think that bug is still valid. If you are not registered in the bug
tracker you can ask on the mailing list for someone to do so.

Hope it helps,
Dan
