FWIW, I'm also skeptical that this experiment will succeed. I think it is worth trying ... but I'm by no means promising to buy into the result. There is precedent for this sort of thing: mysql converted from autoconf+gmake to cmake a few years back, and AFAIK they've not regretted it. So that's a data point that a project of complexity more or less similar to ours can make the change. Where I do *not* want to end up is maintaining *three* build systems. So I'll definitely resist any proposals to commit a partly-done cmake conversion (which I fear might seem attractive at some point). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
