[vtk-developers] vtk-8.2.0-rc2 problem building wheels

[David E DeMarle]

Hey all,

What say we set up a v-con to discuss this? The higher bandwidth of a face

With the holidays, we may not be able to all get together before January.
@Ben when is your expected merge date for the new module system again?
