Hi again, (cc'ing also Mathieu in case he has input) I've managed to compile and install vtk 9.2.5 and Paraview 5.11 with the attached PKGBUILDs. In my testing so far today it looks to work fine, and is a whole lot faster than Paraview 5.10 on my OpenFOAM cases :) As you can see from PKGBUILDs, this is without any of the previously used patches since all the necessary changes look to be upstreamed. When compiling vtk I did have an issue with qmlplugindump failing. I gather from the various bug reports around that topic that I'm missing some Qt build dependency (which is not listed in makedepends), but I was not able to figure out which one, the error message does not specify it. So the attached "dontrun-qmlplugindump.patch" modifies one of the CMakeLists.txt files to skip running qmlplugindump and just use a static copy of the qml plugins list that is provided with vtk. The line to run this patch is included in the vtk PKGBUILD but commented out. It is not necessary if you have the correct Qt modules installed, I assume. Regarding the "verdict" package that is only available from AUR, is it preferrable to include that package in "Community", or to avoid compiling in the "verdict" support similar to how exprtk and ioss are omitted?
