I was just wondering whether anyone here would know when/if vtk 9.1 might become available via vcpkg?

9.0 is still the latest available in the official vcpkg ports:

There are a few open pull requests for 9.1 but they have not yet been merged:

I wish Kitware would work with the vcpkg team to fix this problem.
