The package should be in shape for upload tomorrow. Neat! I'm sure that those using ITK 4 will appreciate your work. As far as the existing Salsa repository is concerned: I would encourage you to consider using a v4 branch to maintain it. If you prefer to do something else, that is also fine with me. Just want to be clear that I haven't any objection to keeping v4 and v5 in a single repository. -Steve signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I think the roadmap that ITK4 will be deleted as soon as possible is clear. However, if it might serve as an intermediate means to support some remaining dependencies temporarily I think it is OK to do some tricks that would not be acceptable as long term means.
