So I'd say currently CMake is useful but without it I'm able to work.
Without automake currently we have nothing to distribute.
So we have to work on it... and I am confident that it is possible to
achieve that. I hope I can find the time to explore this soon.
Yes, our cmake stuff has the 80% of trivial features and now we need
the 20% of polish that actually take 80% of the time. (disclaimer: I
made up my numbers).
Considering all the work done by Kornel and Peter for this release, I'd
expect the numbers to be more like 90%/10%. I also expect that the the
polish is easier to do in CMake that it was for autotools and m4. But I
am not an expert, Kornel and/or Peter would probably give better
estimations :-)
I do not say that cmake is not able to provide what autotools
provides, just that it needs a lot of love to do so. Currently it is a
convenient tool for developers, not the complete solution.
Agreed.
