I know I'd prefer autotools too. Scons is not so bad too. It has some good ideas
but it's a long way to become a drop in replacement for autotools. Maybe in a
few years it'll be ready. I was searching for shlib versioning and people are
complaining about it since 2008 and also sended patches upstream but nothing
changed since.

Could have been a good choice back then but I'm at this point where I put so much effort
into Scons and read so much source code that I don't want to give it up. And to
be honest I have way more experience in python then anything else.
But I solved the problem with the symlinks. I created LibtoolInstall() Builder.
I guess when I'm finished with all I'm gonna have to contribute my libtool
builders to the scons community.
Some other questions. There are packages like libscitbx0 where I put
libscitbx.so and libscitbx_boost_python-py**.so in it. I saw the lintian complains and
I wonder if I should pack them seperately. Meaning:
libscitbx0
and
libscitbx_boost_python0
I was also thinking about the dispatcher scripts. Most of them seem useless to
me. All scripts ending *.python are just calling the interpreter with the proper
pythonpaths what is useless. The other scripts especially boost.* cbflib.* etc would just
pollute the namespace in /usr/bin. People could be confused. We could put them
in a seperate package and don't put the files into /usr/bin but for example
/usr/share/cctbx/bin. What is your opinion on that?
