I like the idea and it seems reasonable however since cmake has two UI: cmake-gui ccmake may be it's worth adding those feature to both UI ? I mean being able to download source run ccmake and end-up with a installable package (TGZ, RPM, DEB) etc... would be nice too. Todays you may do it with an extra "make package" after you run ccmake not a big deal but the UI may let you chose the type of [supported] installer package you want. -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ 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
