It *sounds* like it's being suggested that we replace "make"
That's correct, though Aap can usefully do much more than make, such as fetching remote sources and managing CVS checkouts/-ins.
Has anyone used SCons? http://www.scons.org/
Well, they feature neck-and-neck in July, so if someone (or someone someone knows) is around there, they could compare and ask pointed questions: 2003 May 15: BOF session at O'Reilly conference The proposal to organize a BOF session on A-A-P has been accepted. It will take place on Thursday evening July 10, from 8 to 9 pm. This is directly after the BOF session on SCons, in the same room. A nice occasion for people to talk about modern building tools! More information about the conference here. (links at http://www.a-a-p.org/index.html ) -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
