I'm currently taking a second looks at build2. I haven't got very far, but I'm already starting to hate it.

I would be interested to hear why (probably best off-list since it will be off-topic here).

I haven't delved deep into Build2 yet (as stated above), so I could be misinterpreting things. I also haven't given up on it yet. That said: - bdep creates a / hierarchy. I assume the outer directory is the package and the inner is the project within the package. But wait, there's one more level! I can't put my build directories in the inner /or/ the outer , so in practice I've got three levels: //. - I need to specify the name for each build configuration twice, once for the @name and once for the directory. - It wants me to use git. I strongly prefer fossil as my version control system. - Build configurations appear to be stored in a sqlite database, not in a readable and editable text file. -- Rainer Deyke (rainerd@eldwood.com)
