It appears that the VTK 9.0.1 source tar ball appears to be truncated. Everything after:

ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm/vtk-m/benchmarking/Benchmarker.h  
ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm/vtk-m/benchmarking/CMakeLists.txt  
ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm/vtk-m/data/  
-ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm/vtk-m/data/magField.vtk  
-ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm/vtk-m/data/sample.cosmotools  
-ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm/vtk-m/data/temporal\_datasets/

is missing.

Hrm. Seems the bug TJ had when making the tarballs on his machine has affected me as well then. Something is wrong with our tarball creation script 😕 . Maybe `git-archive-all` can help us? (submodules suck)

New tarballs should be up today. I adapted ParaView’s source script for VTK here: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge\_requests/7063](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge_requests/7063)

This should be fixed now. @mwestphal would you mind confirming?
