Yes of course I used cmake. Haven't used Autotools for a long time. But 
regardless of the used build tools shouldn't a distribution package contain 
everything? Does every project using cmake and PROJ have to maintain it's own 
reincarnation of the cmake script just because Debian packages are missing it? 
That does not sound very sane to me.

Well I am not that much of a package and Linux guru but if I have a look at 
/usr/share/cmake/Modules/ I find loads of find scripts. I can't tell if that is 
because many packages think this is the correct path or because the SuSE 
maintainers simply do it that way.

Anyway I think it's good practice to take stuff that is the same for each 
project away from projects. And maintaining a reincarnation of a cmake 
configuration script is such stuff for sure. These cmake scripts in QMS had 
their origin from times where most projects like PROJ where not aware of cmake. 
But this is about 10 years ago and meanwhile most projects provide these files.

Thus wouldn't it be better to take them over in the packages?

Thanks & regards

Oliver
