[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#514328: OpenFOAM-1.5 patch for paraview-3.4.0

[Oliver Borm]

Package: paraview
Version: 3.4.0-2~ppa3~intrepid1
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello,

the actual implementation of the OpenFOAM reader in paraview-3.4.0 is
deprecated. Takuya OSHIMA has implemented a new version of the OpenFOAM
reader, see for example
(http://openfoam.cfd-online.com/cgi-bin/forum/show.cgi?tpc=1&post=17466
and
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Tip_Building_ParaView3_With_OpenFOAM_Native_Reader).

Is it possible to apply this patch directly to the paraview debian
package? Gentoo linux has already done this, so you can get a patch
which is known to work for example from
(http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/paraview-3.4.0-OpenFOAM-48.patch.bz2).
You can get an actual result of the patched paraview-3.4.0 with
OpenFOAM-1.5 reader from my ubuntu ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~oli-borm/+archive/ppa

It should also be possible to compile the paraview-3.4.0 source package
on debian.
