Could you describe the role of this "CMake-guy" in more detail?
* Marcus Hanwell of Kitware did a bunch of work on CMake builds for modularized boost, but we never got to the point that *everything* built, installed, and passed the tests. I'm not up-to-speed on the specifics of which parts worked and which didn't, but Eric filed some bug reports someplace. He also prepared a dashboard (http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=Ryppl) More details at http://groups.google.com/group/ryppl-dev/browse_thread/thread/bd42cdc422f9c2... * Denis Arnaud has been maintaining a (non-modularized) Boost-CMake distribution; it's being used for packaging boost for one of the Linux distros, IIUC. see https://groups.google.com/group/ryppl-dev/browse_thread/thread/4e2ffe397d03e... for details. * Someone who really knows CMake needs to pull these efforts together and get them into solid working condition. * Ideally we'd be able to compare the results from the current Boost testing matrix with those generated for the new system -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
