We could have a list of supported places so projects can choose. > I would prefer an init file be written as a CMake file instead of JSON. We need to be able to load the file without initializing much. If it is a CMake language file then people will try to write `if` conditions to check things that we wouldn't provide access to at that point. The idea of this file is to have a purely declarative specification. A format like JSON will work well for that. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
