That's nice to hear!
- Are there any apps that have not been converted to cmake?
The majority have NOT been converted, but the automake build system has been repaired for the remaining apps and therefore works perfectly with the latest versions of Autotools. The main ones that are production ready are:
tqtinterface arts kdelibs kdebase
Others have been converted but I am not using the CMake versions of them in the Debian/Ubuntu builds, so I cannot vouch for completeness/correctness of the build files.
I can vouch however. I have almost exclusively been building with cmake and it has worked like a charm! :) there may be some small problems with it, but I have not noticed any. In fact we recently just got a patch in for kdeartwork from Fat-Zer, so there is still active progress on it.
- Has the wiki been updated/reviewed so newcomers don't get lost building
packages? (I have been out of the loop for a long time and I would like to try to build packages soon.)
Calvin, how is our Wiki on this subject? Do you mind putting up some pointers?
Well the how to build page should provide good guidance. http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild. The section on cmake should be accurate, just make sure to double check your paths. It is key to keep everything together, so I suggest using our standard /opt/trinity as install prefix.
Excited for the release,
