[vtk-developers] Fwd: VTK7 debian packages for Ubuntu 16.04

[Francisco Perez Salgado]

Hi Elvis,

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.
Again thank you very much, your package is very useful.

Regards,
Fran.
