The steering committee made their announcement and ... nothing happened. This is something.
I suggest you read chapter 10 of "the little prince" (by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, for example here: http://www.angelfire.com/hi/littleprince/chapter10.html). Perhaps that helps to illustrate what's going on. It seems quite clear from my POV. :-)
A little off topic... It's also a great book for learning a foreign language. It very much helped me to learn Catalan and Spanish a few years ago. On topic: I've been using CMake in a production env for the past 4+ years. I'm very much a fan - not because of the abominable syntax and documentation, or the fact that there are things you "just have to know" (e.g. how and when to construct and use a toolchain file), but because it's the best available build system for cross-platform development in c++ (which I think in itself is a damning indictment of the state of the c++ build and packaging tools landscape in general). While I am mindful that much of the boost community is committed to b2/bjam (or whatever they're calling it now), I'd like to see an up-to- date, well-written cmake script published with the boost libs as it would ease my life considerably. Happy to help the effort if someone would like to direct me to a repo and bug tracker. R
[OT] Surprised to see this text on the internet (ignoring piracy and al...), I checked its copyrights, and interestingly, [OT] it's apparently public domain everywhere since 2015 *except* in France, the author's country. [OT] French article explaining why below. For short, war-time extension (+8 years), died in the line [OT] of duty (+30 years), and finally UE directive not applying retroactively. So not until 2032 for France... --DD
