I don't really like the "propaganda" idea :-) Particularly for Open Source projects. Open Source is about choice and openess. I don't want to contribute to a voluntary CMake conversion. However I'll be glad (as usual) to help anyone requesting for help with CMake. >> >> Does this sound interesting? >> > I think it might be more interesting to start a campaign to push the cmake > files into those projects. If someone propose the cmake files to the project it's different, it's a potential project contribution :-) > Why shouldn't jpg,tiff,zlib, and friends not ship with good cmake files.

I'm not so sure that a project woul'd be forked because its build system is not cmake, even if valuable cmake user do "fork" because they need a cmake-ified version of the project. My 2 cents about freedom. -- Erk _______________________________________________ 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://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
