Change History (4)

Build system now only cmake. Conversion was straightforward; needs -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF. Only dependent package I have is cups-filters and it does build, though with new deprecation warnings that could be disabled with POINTERHOLDER_TRANSITION=0. For the book you may wish to change how documentation is supplied as it appears to require Sphinx (Notes for Packagers).
