Playing devils advocate, does it make sense to introduce
Yet Another Build System at this stage?
I anticipated this question.
:)
Secondly SCons can replace ./configure, so in all all-SCons world we would
eliminate 3 tools, not just 2.
./configure seems to work fine.
* Nobody knows gbuild.
And more people know SCons?? :)
My point is that likely more people know make and gmake
and its obscure features than SCons.
What I don't want is some hybrid monstrosity like we
have now. Nor do I want work on the build system to hold
off release of 4.2.0.
relating to the last sentence:
For this there is the fantastic invention of branches. ;-)
OK, seriously:
At the moment we are talking more about a 4.2.0 release than all other
posts in the past together. Therefore we should think of when the best
time point is for creating a new 4.2.0 branch. IMHO it is coming really
closer.
Then we can go on on Trunk with improving the build system without any
effects for 4.2.0.
My 2ct.
