ExternalData breaks Fedora builds
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
The Fedora package builders do not have internet access (to provide reproducible builds and for security reasons). Therefore ExternalData functions in VTK 6.1.0 (paraview 4.1.0) fail:
CMake Error at /builddir/build/BUILD/ParaView-v4.1.0-RC2/VTK/CMake/ExternalData.cmake:735 (message): Object MD5=a3f938178d8af24577a28becd8d87aac not found at: http://midas3.kitware.com/midas/api/rest?method=midas.bitstream.download&checksum=a3f938178d8af24577a28becd8d87aac&algorithm=MD5 ("Couldn't resolve host name") http://www.vtk.org/files/ExternalData/MD5/a3f938178d8af24577a28becd8d87aac ("Couldn't resolve host name")
We need an alternative way of providing any needed files.
