I should discourage anybody from taking over octaviz, the package fails 
to build from source as it is not compatible with vtk > 5.0 [1], I spent 
with it several hours when it failed during our F11 mass rebuild in 
February, without any significant success.

IMO it should be just killed for now since it doesn't seem that there 
will be any positive changes soon.
