Hi Folks, Putting on my list moderation hat, I'd like to terminate the debate in this thread. Arguments on both sides have been hashed out a few times. Whether we all agree or not, some people find source globs useful and it will not be disruptive to CMake to add an option to add dependencies on the source directories to enable re-globbing.

Now we just need a volunteer with time, interest, and capability to implement it. If you don't want to use the feature then you do not have to be that volunteer. When a volunteer comes along I will not reject the patch based solely on debate of the feature's value (but may for other technical details of the implementation as appropriate). -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
