I'm not sure if a branch is really even need as is right now since cmake build files are not makefiles. They shouldn't affect anyone not trying cmake out and since it not complete yet there is little chance of that. I worry about losing sync with trunk in a branch.
If the group feels that it better done in a branch i will put it there.
So long as it doesn't disturb the existing build system, I see no reason to do it in a branch.
I'm a few days late to this, but I thought I would reiterate some comments I've made in the past about reworking the build system. I personally have no strong opinion about how it is implemented as long as it meets a few requirements:
1- build system software is available on major distributions 2- performs fully parallelized builds 3- uses pkg-config or similarly correct dependency detection 4- correctly builds shared objects
I can't think of any others at the moment. :)
I think all 4 are total show-stoppers if unmet. In my (biased) opinion, our distro maintainers will be highly displeased with the project if we don't follow them.
Besides, I like being able to compile inkscape on 4 CPUs in under 6 minutes. ;)
