Dear Boost,
I'd like to inquire about the status of the CMake-ification of Boost that had been started a while ago. AFAICT, the effort is completely stopped now; is this correct?
Also, I'd like to poll the community to gauge interest in the rebirth of such an effort. __I'm not proposing myself to work on such a rebirth__, but I'm just curious to know what the community thinks about it. I, for one, would love to see it happen.
Obviously this would some advantages as there is a large CMake user base. But without short-term development and, most crucially, long-term support, I doubt if we have resources to deal with this, as well as our currently can't-do-without bjam/b2. Might the time when C++ finally gets modules be the right time to consider a change? Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
