Another, but related, question would be whether that could be abstracted a little along these lines:
* how much of the info can be extracted from the build system automatically ? * what (meta)data needs to be added by developers manually ? * can the same process be repeated for other packagers, such as deb or msi ?
Sorry, that wasn't particularly clear. Let me add:
* Can the process be abstracted such that the same input can be used to generate a variety of packages automatically ?
Yes, a good goal, and one we've been discussing for some time on the Boost.Build list. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
