From e-user at fsfe.org Tue Mar 22 15:50:13 2011 From: e-user at fsfe.org (Alexander Kahl) Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:50:13 +0100 Subject: [xcvb-devel] State of the project Message-ID: <4D88C535.2020907@fsfe.org> Hi, I'd like to know whether xcvb can still be considered an active project and the maintainer(s) still want to approach a 1.0 release anytime soon. If so, it might be worth looking into integrating xcvb with evol[1] where the former depends on Make right now. While started as a long-term Autotools replacement, it can already be used for dependency resolution and multi-threaded building and I'd happily support xcvb development, also in order to push evol's code base. Please tell me what you think :) Alex [1] http://cliki.net/evol -- Alexander Kahl ?? www: http://fsfe.org FSFE Fellow ?????? e-mail: e-user at fsfe.org Lambda Hacker ?? xmpp: e-user at jabber.fsfe.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Mind you it's working already, but usability is low, and it's definitely not in shape to replace ASDF: right now, it's Linux-mostly, SBCL, CCL or CLISP only. And error reporting sucks. > If so, it might be worth looking into integrating xcvb with evol[1] > where the former depends on Make right now. > Well XCVB now has a Linux-only non-make backend, but without any good story for error-handling. > While started as a long-term > Autotools replacement, it can already be used for dependency resolution > and multi-threaded building and I'd happily support xcvb development, > also in order to push evol's code base. > I looked at the Cliki page. Looks interesting. We should discuss. Do you have Google Talk? I'm fahree at gmail.com. Skype?
