Hello QPID Devs, I'm a graduate student at Queen's University writing a course project on build system refactoring. I read Steve Huston's article on his blog that was published in 2009 discussing why you chose cmake and how the transition was done and I was wondering if you have any additional information I could use for my research. Namely, can you elaborate on: - the most important reasons for adopting CMake over Autotools? What pros/cons of both systems mattered the most for QPID developers? - did the fact that KDE successfully adapt cmake play a significant role in you picking it too? - did you receive much help from cmake developers in designing your build system? - how long did the transition take and how did it progress? - were Apache QPID developers responsible for writing CMakeLists and other required files for their own packages (dispersed development) or is there a build team that was in charge of producing those for all QPID packages?
Anything else you could mention would be of great help and much appreciated! Regards, Roman Suvorov. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected]
