I also think this is and important question. > > In alphabetical order: > Georg > Peter > Scott > Vincent I do not know CMake well. I suppose I do know enough to make minor modifications. I've been learning from Kornel and would put more effort into it if we did decide to move to CMake for our official builds. But the point remains that at least in the short-run I think we would depend a lot on one or two developers that have a lot of CMake experience. I'm still not sure what the implications of moving to CMake as our official build system are (I should have made this more clear in my initial email). I just wonder if it can help with making the release process easier. Scott > > whereas at least two people (JMarc and Georg, maybe others) can do > > this for autotools. > > > > Richard > > Kornel
