The maintenance argument goes both ways, we may need to do less
maintenance, but some maintenance should still be expected. However,
what little maintenance there'll be will be that much harder because
we'll have to rely on the CMAKE developers to integrate our changes, and
CMAKE is written in C++.
Advantages of the Nebula-Buildsys over CMAKE:
- The .bld files closely resemble the .epk files Radon Labs use, this
makes merging in of code dumps easier.
- If a generator needs to be updated or a new one needs to be written it
can be done quickly, you don't have to wait until the next release of CMAKE.
- The buildsys can be extended (and has been) to do more than just
generate solutions/makefiles.
I also think that the module/target concept (and the associated pkg.cc
generation) would be non trivial to implement in CMAKE, but I haven't
looked at many CMAKE examples so I could be wrong.
