[fdo-internals] FDO RFC 21 - New Linux Buildsystem Cmake Based

[Greg Boone]

That would be fine by me. I think the life of the sandbox could be short lived here. I just think I need to get a sense of how the changes would work.

Hi Greg,

I don't know about you, but my time for meetings right now is pretty limited.

Would you be happy going ahead with this in a sandbox, working out all of the issues (making sure that the tests are run, passed as part of the build) to your satisfaction, and then committing to trunk once it's working and we're all happy with it?  Although the changes would be non-intrusive, this would Helio to make any required changes to the FDO code without having to go through patch approval for each one, and it would keep the trunk stable.

I know I'm reversing my thinking on this one, but it does make sense.

Jason

Maybe we should have a PSC meeting to discuss this issue? I would like to put this issue to bed.

Well, GeoLinux itself is a project started in Ecos to create global packages.
At this moment, as exception for the Mapguide Live cd's, i didn't see any
distro or gis based distro taken on mapguide. Is usually mapserver and mostly
the Java stacks.
I didn't made unit tests run just because i tried use external cppunit, but i
will fall in use the ThirdParty one, as works only with that.

Yes, i just still not hapy to not been able to get rid of dbxml23 + xerces 2.7
+ xqilla 1.0.1 + db 4.5 and can only work with that. Using db 4.6 cause
headaches every new try.

Is a text shell oriented script, even the tests are easy to do
