Hello dear OSG users, Let's follow up on this thread, before I make another release of cppintrospection, in order to package it in Debian! (and other operating systems)

We still use some old OSG that is packaged in Debian, and it contains a osgIntrospection library. Also, I really want to avoid working with Subversion, as Git is much more fun to work with. Those two issues are not really issues, after all. I would really like to collaborate with you, Wang Rui, and benefit from your future changes to this project. I don't plan to make any change to it, as I am only interested in seeing it packaged, especially for Debian GNU/Linux. For the CMake packaging, I would be totally up for having it aside from the GNU Autotools, but I don't know how to use it, and have no time for this. I know the GNU Autotools, and that's is it for now. So, if I move forward with renaming this library and releasing a 2.12.0 tag to package it for Debian, would you be willing to move along, Wang Rui, and contribute to it? Otherwise, I guess I will simply apply you changes as patches from "upstream" to the gentle "fork". What do you think?
