It has some good ideas but it's a long way to become a drop in replacement for autotools. Maybe in a few years it'll be ready. I was searching for shlib versioning and people are complaining about it since 2008 and also sended patches upstream but nothing changed since. > > > Just found out that scons builtin Install() command does not install > > symlinks > > but it follows them.

Could have been a good choice back then but I'm at this point where I put so much effort into Scons and read so much source code that I don't want to give it up. And to be honest I have way more experience in python then anything else.
But I solved the problem with the symlinks. I created LibtoolInstall() Builder. I guess when I'm finished with all I'm gonna have to contribute my libtool builders to the scons community. Some other questions. There are packages like libscitbx0 where I put libscitbx.so and libscitbx_boost_python-py**.so in it. I saw the lintian complains and I wonder if I should pack them seperately. Meaning: libscitbx0 and libscitbx_boost_python0 I was also thinking about the dispatcher scripts. Most of them seem useless to me. All scripts ending *.python are just calling the interpreter with the proper pythonpaths what is useless. The other scripts especially boost.* cbflib.* etc would just pollute the namespace in /usr/bin. People could be confused. We could put them in a seperate package and don't put the files into /usr/bin but for example /usr/share/cctbx/bin.
