I been using cmake on fedora for awhile because it is much much faster. I encountered several issues: 1. It breaks for time to time 2. no make check , I started working on it (https://github.com/oritwas/ceph/tree/cmake_add_make_check) the main issue is that part of the unit tests fail when run in the cmake build location. We will need to fix those tests. 3. no vstart.sh , starting working on this too but have less progress here. At the moment in order to use vstart I copy the exe and libs to src dir.
