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 <project_name>/<project_name> hierarchy. I assume
the outer <project_name> directory is the package and the inner
<project_name> 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 <project_name>, so in practice I've got three levels:
<project_name>/<project_name>/<project_name>.
- 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.
