Considering how big ITK is it is probably not of much help to keep the whole history of itk4 also in this new version. Maybe it would make sense to do a shallow clone of the insighttoolkit4 repo to have a starting point. There may also be packages that need itk4 for the time being, at least with vtk6 there are such cases, although they relate to the switch from OpenGL 2.1 to 3.2, i.e. compat to core. Since I'm out of image processing, I'm not really sure what is going on there. I only remember that that latest versions of itksnap didn't seem to be easily buildable with > Also, I recall that someone (Gert, I believe) once proposed dropping > the python packages for ITK 5. Yes I did, my reasons would be that it makes the build overly long and large, and we do not know what people actually need. My guess is that people who do serious work with python itk probably compile it themselves anyway. > So my thought is to drop the python package. Agreed. Best, Gert
