Thanks for the link, it's a useful read. Mostly I think we probably do reasonable well on the ready to package front. We can always do better of course. I'm curious just how much the new cpack work can help out in this direction. Perhaps we should have a README.txt, or a section for it in the present README.txt, just for package maintainers. The alternative would be to put a page(s) up on the wiki just for package maintainers. As another little small step I've changed the ./configure script to pass on any command line arguments, so it now reads: cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release $@ This will allow users/maintainers to ./configure --help, as well as pass in the various prefix settings they may require.
