Re: [reSIProcate] dumping autotools and moving to CMake?


Yes, any change like this would be an inconvenience to some. I hope that we could get an idea of how many would have a difficult time with a change like this, so if anyone falls into this category, please speak up. We are very much in a phase where we need this input.

Best regards,

this a go, since I have some experience with it.


Any feedback about it would be great, feel free to add to the wiki as well

In terms of priorities, I think that any cmake effort can probably wait
until after the 1.9.0 release has been tagged though.  Most of my own
tweaks are now committed and will appear in a beta9 tarball very soon
and it would be useful to have any final concerns/problems listed if
anybody thinks it is not suitable for release.


It is worth mentioning that some projects (like mine) has integrated resiprocate as a native submodule utilizing the capability of autotools to nest other project within a single homogeneous build. This is not a complaint but just a side note.  Whatever works best for resiprocate, I won't have trouble with.
