Sadly, I think your reaction may have a lot to do with why not everyone on the planet involved with C and C++ is using it all the time! The idea of Vesta (at least as I understand its use), is to be a build and configuration management system that comprises a global database of project source code and compiled items with local caches storing the bits you use. So it's like a grand mix of Maven and Gradle but for C and C++. I haven't used it myself, only had a couple of companies use of it explained (not that well, and a few years ago) to me. If it had worked as it was explained to me, then I think everyone working with C and C++ would be using it -- and clearly they are not. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a whole lot of good ideas that could be poached. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
