Hi, I finally got through the compilation's errors.
So if you take my repo, you should be able to build into sbuild a deb package for visit. It does build with python2 and Qt5. Be careful, it doesn't respect the Debian way at all : The FHS is not respected and some libraries are bundle in it (gfortran, etc.). I have build only one big .deb, but it may be split (python-visit, visit-dev, etc.). I also had to disable some functionalities in visit (HDF5, Silo, GDAL), BoxLib, as it triggers some compilation's errors. It is sufficient for our internal needs, so I won't invest more time in it. But if anyone wants to bring visit into Debian, feel free to use my work, it could be a start.
