So should I be committing what I have to the trunk.
Yes, please.
I can put some cmake
code in the top level CMakeLists.txt file that will abort the cmake run
unless a developer manually edits the CMakeList.txt with an explanation that
the cmake build system is unstable and should not be used yet. Would that
satisfy everyone?
Well, I'd settle for just adding a MESSAGE("This is an experimental
Build system for Boost and should not be used at this time"), or
something like it, along with a similar message on the Trac. (Your
Subversion account can also be used to log into an edit the Trac).
Quick question about svn commits. Is it allowable to do a "mass commit" with a single message? Or do I need to commit each file individually with its own commit message? Each project is different and I certainly do not want to get off on the wrong foot so to speak.
A mass commit is actually preferred, at least by me.
Also, do a posting to the list telling other boosters what you have done, mentioning that merging was suggested was suggested by Doug with the support of some of the other moderators, warning people of the as yet unfinished state of the project, but also suggesting things that work well enough for the curious to try out for themselves.
