Hello,
at git://demo.aegee.org:143/cyrus-imapd.git , branch dpa/automake I
have
patched cyrus-imapd/master to support Automake .
With the exception of perl and CUnit, I it works fine and permits
building in a directory, different from the source directory. All
dependencies are moved to a single Makefile.am (except CUnit and
Perl).
The point with CUnit is, that I did not manage to get it running
on my
system, so I left it as is. The Makefile's generated from
Makefile.PL
do not permit compiling perl files in a directory, different from
the
source directory.
I wonder if we can change from Makefile.PL to one of the more modern
Perl build systems...
I reckon the Perl side of things is due a refactor anyways, no?
I do not have the purify-tool, so I was not able to compile the
imap/imap.pure, imap/imap.quant, imap/lmtpd.pure, imap/muptead.pure,
imtest/imtest.pure, notifyd/notifyd.pure, ptclient/ptdump.pure,
ptclient/ptexpire.pure, ptclient/ptloader.pure and
timsieved/timsieved.pure targets. Those are not transferred to
Makefile.am . I guess, the one who use those pure-things, can
easily
extend Makefile.am to support them.
We don't use them. I wonder if anyone actually does :)
Let's put a stake in the ground and remove them.
"make dist" shall build .tar.bz2 including all files. However I
have
copied the dist-target from the old Makefile.in, removed all
Makefile.dist files. The one who make tarballs/snapshots shall
consider
if it is wiser to use the Automake system to make tarballs, or the
system used so far (with git). So or so, the xversion.h file needs
to
be generated by git.
So long as it can be done easily, I dno't much care.
Can configure.ac -> ./configure please be made in charge of xversion.h?
I'll log a ticket with this request.
I hope you will like the result. Let me know, if you experience any
(compilation) problems, after merging the changes. I will respond
promptly.
By the way, when approximately will be v2.5 released?
We don't know for sure. I had a good chat with Greg in Melbourne
last
week about what still needs to be done. My plan is to build a set of
bugs that need to be resolved, and make sure everything we're
thinking
about is on that list! Then we'll have a clearer idea.
Perhaps it's time we call a meeting to discuss 2.5.
Shall I announce tickets need to be created as per the #3669[1] model?
Then if it isn't a ticket in Bugzilla it's not going to be planned. What
do we think is a suitable timeframe for people to start creating
tickets?

Regardless, I think we should merge your automake code now, so we
have
a chance to test it for a while!
Please let me work on this for a few, so we have some more eyeballs
rolling over this.
I propose we have Dilyan send in his SSH key for access to
git.cyrusimap.org, and we set the distribution component to be assigned
to him by default. Perhaps we rename the distribution component to build
/ autoconf / automake / autofoo?
Kind regards,
