The [vtk-wasm-sdk](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-wasm-sdk) CI will now publish webassembly builds of VTK in [kitware/vtk-wasm-sdk](https://hub.docker.com/r/kitware/vtk-wasm-sdk). The older [kitware/vtk-wasm](https://hub.docker.com/r/kitware/vtk-wasm-sdk) docker repo is no longer maintained.

There seems to be no clean way of deprecating/archiving docker images. [docker/hub-feedback#907](https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/907), [opencontainers/image-spec!902](https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/pull/903). So I’ve resorted to publishing an empty image that displays a warning message.

If you do `docker run kitware/vtk-wasm:latest`, it will just print a warning message and fail to build your project.

```shell
$ docker run --rm kitware/vtk-wasm:latest 
WARNING: This image is no longer maintained. Please use https://hub.docker.com/r/kitware/vtk-wasm-sdk instead.

```

If you extended the `kitware/vtk-wasm` image, I’m afraid there’s no way to know until you actually run a command like `cmake` or `ninja` as they do not exist in that image.

We will also update the `Overview` section in dockerhub to point to the new repository.
