Re: heavy dependencies of libvtk-dev
Hi Johannes, * Johannes Thrän [2023-10-23 19:58]: libpcl-dev has uneccessarily heavy dependencies. This is, because it depends on the visualization part of pcl, which in turn pulls in libvtk and libvtk-qt and with it a desktop environment. In principal pcl consist of independent libraries that could be packaged separately. I'm happy to guide you on that.

Hi Johannes, packaging of the vtk9 is placed here [1]. If you have some technical solution, how to solve the issue, feel free to contribute. Yes, vtk9 is a large package.
