The numbering scheme seems to be a matter of believes ... I think only debian cares about the alpha keyword. And only our *.deb files are called alpha.
I mean as in verbal chat, when people talk to eachother, and on the website, we always say "Alpha 21" or "Alpha 16" or something along those lines.
I think 0.9 would be more consistent than 0.21 .
This isn't a bad idea, our next release could be version 0.9, and we start counting up from there on our release candidates for 1.0.
Hey, have a look: SCons 0.96.95 (candidate for 0.97) ... Now, we know the meaning of .8. in our version numbering.
Still, 0.8 has lost its physical meaning, since the project has been on 0.8 for so long.
I have googled to compare scons and cmake. And scons was the definite looser. - portability issues on non-unix systems. - slow development - KDE really wanted to use this, but gave up. Now they use cmake.
I have successfully deployed Scons on windows, in fact it seemed trivial to do, much easier than using autotools or similar. The only downside I feel for scons is its autoconf like functionality, which is lacking somewhat. However, again, since scons uses python, its possible and easy to wrap programs like SDL-config on unix or develop the tests on our own. Boost and sdl libraries are named consistently so they are no issue. I've heard allot about the popularity of Cmake, allot of people like it. I have little experience with it so I can't argue its benefits.

Just looked into the scons Changelog: latest stable release: RELEASE 0.96.1 - Mon, 23 Aug 2004 12:55:50 +0000 http://www.scons.org/CHANGES.txt Another system would be bjam which is used and written by the boost developers. -- Kai Antweiler _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
