Hi all,
We recently cut over to SCons, from GNU Autotools, in the XORP tree,
which is now public again:
http://xorp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xorp/trunk/xorp/
So far this has been a win for us -- it is now much easier for us to
deploy new components in the tree, and maintenance is easier too,
assuming developers are Python-literate.
I wanted to ask if there is interest in SConsifying the Thrift tree, and
if anyone has already been working on this? It is likely I will need to
hack Thrift significantly to do the following:
* integrate Rush Manbert's excellent ASIO work;
* streamline the client/server stubs, and separate those which are
generated for C++;
* introduce support for fully async client-side invocation, with or
without futures (which XORP needs).
Please let me know -- I'd like to start work on this as soon as
possible, and would like to avoid duplicating existing effort.
thanks,
BMS
