Bug 233191 – sci-vizualization/paraview-3.3_pre20080514: add >=OpenFOAM-1.5 support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oliver Borm 2008-07-28 20:30:47 UTC]

The OpenFOAM reader which is actually in the cvs sources from paraview cannot read OpenFAOM cases from the new OpenFOAM-1.5 version. In order to have support for >=OpenFOAM-1.5 in paraview, the provided patch is necessary. This patch was posted on the OpenFOAM mailing list:

http://openfoam.cfd-online.com/cgi-bin/forum/board-auth.cgi?file=/1/4704.html#POST25140

I've tested this patch with paraview-3.3_pre20080514. But I think it should be also working with paraview-3.2.1. 

If this patch is not applied, paraview-3.3_pre20080514 just freezes and paraview-3.2 gives an error message with OpenFOAM-1.5 test cases.

Reproducible: Always

Hi Oliver,

Thank you very much for the patch and I'll try to 
have a look at it soon.

Best,
Markus

Hi Oliver,

Does the author of the patch release it under the same license
as paraview itself? I didn't see any mention of it in the
release notes.

Thanks,
Markus

Hello Markus,

I don't know exactly under which license he has published his code, but as this reader is derived from the one which is actually in paraview and he stated that he want to include his reader into the official paraview cvs, I assume that he is publishing his code under the paraview license. 

For an exact clarification you may want to contact him.

Best regards,
Oliver

I'll send him an email just to make sure. Once this is settled I'll  
commit the patch to portage.

Thanks,
Markus

I've just added the patch to paraview-3.3 in portage.
You'll have to re-sync in an hour or so and recompile
paraview to pull in the addition.

Many thanks go to the original patch creator Takuya OSHIMA 
who kindly provided a patch compatible with the original 
paraview license.

Best,
Markus
