I have actually been known to work on SCons from time to time over the last decade, and whilst it is still very good for straightforward C, C++, Fortran, D and LaTeX builds, it is beginning to lag behind in addressing some aspects of build, particularly configuration. CMake and SCons(, and Waf) clearly led to Meson which is a Ninja configuration system in the way CMake is a Make configuration system. > But in the context of geeqie, I'd say don't fix it as long as it's > not > broken. If it breaks, we can return to this discussion. An approach I find disappointing in a FOSS project, but it seems the view of all those who ventured a view. Which is fine, it is the project that belongs to those who work on it. I just think that this "don't fix the unbroken" is a route to technical debt. Anyway given the gently hostile reaction to my email, I shall now just go away. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
