Thank you! More hands for ITK is indeed welcome. Between ITK, Boost, and GMP, I'm generally pretty squeezed for Debian time. > Or is it too late? I don't think it is too late. The current ITK4 status can always be obtained from the PTS page [1]. The main obstacle right now is that it Fails To Build on all architectures other than amd64. The buildd status is available from the PTS page; right now it's in experimental so use the 'exp' link [2]. A quick glance suggests there are multiple problems: some builds fail in tests, others fail in a compilation. First order of business is to go through the buildd logs and get a list of the issues. There is only one issue currently filed (#670609), a trivial missing "Conflicts". If we can get the issues fixed quickly so that it builds cleanly before, say, mid-June, we'll be able to get it into the next release. Note that ITK is currently in its 4.2 release cycle, with plans to tag at end of June [3]. There's a good chance that will be too late for Debian. However, there may be upstream fixes for the build failures that we could cherry-pick into Debian's ITK 4.1.
