Marcel,

havn't heard from you in about a year. Nice to have you back!

Autotools were always sufficient for me too. But having used CMake  
(and that's only once), I'm confident it will provide useful for  
developers and users alike.
I don't like the idea of removing the working autotools solution. If  
CMake can generate some files we can remove thoose from svn and  
regenerate them as needed. But the dist should keep a compatible  
configure/build system.

Hendrik, can you draw us a picture which intermediate files CMake will  
generate and how it controls the build?

Hendrik has done enough m4 to call him proficient in my book. Being  
very thorough he also pushed OpenOBEX to a very wide range of  
platforms and compilers. If the build system needs more than just  
tweeks to support or complete this we should explore the options.

Since OpenOBEX is a stable base lib on many distros Marcel has good  
reason to stick to the proven solution. There should be a simple and  
solid way to produce distributions with the known autotools build  
system. At least for few releases.

I've provided a SVN clone of the CVS repository for about 2 years. The  
CVS was archived about half a year ago in favour of SVN. The current  
location of the repository is with the trac install. It's a trac  
limitation and there are plans to remedy this with the next release.

Another change you might have missed is the switch to doxygen. This  
enables e.g. http://dev.zuckschwerdt.org/openobex/doxygen/
Use the trac timeline to get a quick overview on all changes and  
fixes: http://dev.zuckschwerdt.org/openobex/timeline

I use GIT on most of my projects too. I'll provide a git-svn conduit  
asap.


regards,
Christian
