    Description: 
ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform application designed to visualize 
data sets of size varying from small to very large. The goals of the ParaView 
project include the following:

    * Develop an open-source, multi-platform visualization application.
    * Support distributed computation models to process large data sets.
    * Create an open, flexible, and intuitive user interface.
    * Develop an extensible architecture based on open standards.

Main animation ParaView runs on distributed and shared memory parallel as well 
as single processor systems and has been succesfully tested on Windows, Mac 
OS X, Linux and various Unix workstations, clusters and supercomputers. Under 
the hood, ParaView uses the Visualization Toolkit as the data processing and 
rendering engine and has a user interface written using Qt.

Hi Christophe,

what is the state of this? I also would like to use this package in
Debian very much. I tried to compile from source, but I am getting an
error, that paraview only compiles with QT 4.2, but in Debian there is
QT 4.3.3. Did you succeed compiling it?

You have to go for the CVS version. The version I retrieved a few days ago 
from CVS works well with the Qt version in Debian.
I have the configuration relatively complete included MPI support (which I 
need, and paraview is not distributed which mpi support on paraview.org)
Now I need to create the package.

I need the package soon, at least in some state, so I already created
almost a working solution in our svn. Feel free to base your work on
that, or create a new directory for the cvs version. Also this link
come very handy:

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/paraview/devel/

It contains all the patches that fedora guys had to apply to make it
work. So I am going to apply them to the released version of paraview,
it should do the job mostly.

ok, I applied the fedora patches and the paraview package in our svn
just built on both i386 and amd64 for me. Without MPI.

Subject: Linking with libraries already in Debian...
Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 00:23:00 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi!

Thanks for your ITP bug regarding Paraview!
I hope the packaging is going on well.

I wonder if you managed to link Paraview against (and make it work
properly with) libraries already packaged and included in Debian.

Last time I checked, it seemed Paraview could not be linked with
already installed libraries (without applying heavy modifications).
I think that, from a maintainability/code-duplication point of view,
shipping a special copy of VTK and TclTk just for Paraview would
not be acceptable.  Unfortunately though, last time I checked, Paraview
shipped with special versions of those libraries that had to be
recompiled:
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2006-October/003881.html

I hope the situation has improved in the meanwhile: for instance,
Paraview was going to switch from TclTk to Qt and it seems this
transition has already been completed... Is it now possible to easily
link Paraview against an already installed copy of VTK?
Or did you modify CMakeLists.txt in order to let Paraview compile and
link against debianized VTK?

You can see for yourself. Our svn is here:

XS-Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-scicomp/paraview/
XS-Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-scicomp/paraview/

We welcome any help with the packaging.

Not yet. Currently we are still trying to make it compile on i386 and
amd64 together with MPI and python. We just succeeded in the compilation
itself, so at least the package builds now.

Unfortunately, the python scripting still isn't working at runtime. When
this is fixed, only then we'll try to build shared libraries and reuse
as much as possible from Debian to reduce the sice of the paraview
binary package (currently 100MB).

I don't know, we didn't try it yet.

Not yet. First we need to make it work with all the features. 
If you would like to help us, it'd be awesome. Feel free to join the 

http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianScientificComputingTeam

where the package is maintained.

Really huge!  I hope you soon manage to successfully package it without
the "extraneous" libraries!

I'm afraid I do not (yet) have enough packaging experience to help
out...  I should start packaging something easier, first!  ;-)

Christphe managed to cut the size down to 33MB. Everything seems to work now
just fine, the only exception is python support. Follow our malinglist

All major things are fixed now:

* python scripting works
* MPI works
* binary package size is 35MB
* tested on i386 and amd64

what remains:

* manpages
* lintian warnings fixes

The updodate wokring packages compiled for i386 and amd64 can always
be found here:

http://debian.certik.cz/

Feel free to test them and report all bugs to our mailinglist. Also
any help with fixing the remaining things is appreciated.

Ondrej
