Hi, I just pushed initial CMake support into a new 'cmake' branch[0]. It is not finished yet and misses things like: * documentation building * translation building * cross compiling (there seems to be some stuff in configure.in which needs to be ported) * setting VERSION correctly (currently it uses "0.7.90", should read from debian/changelog) I have also converted the packaging to debhelper 7 and removed this libstdc++ stuff from the library name, as this is just useless, considering no other library does this. As a next step, I would like to redesign the packaging: * Merge apt-utils into apt (+400kB) REASON: libdb4.7 is required, and they otherwise have the same dependencies; they also have the same priority (important); and 400kB are not very much. * Move libapt-pkg and libapt-inst into a libapt-pkg4.8 package. REASON: When they are not shipped in the apt package we can handle ABI breaks more easily without breaking most systems (like requesting removal of python-apt just because it is not recompiled yet). Packages using the acquire functionality would have to depend on libapt-pkg4.8 and apt, as the latter would provide the methods. I would like to get your comments about the build system, the proposals, and receive patches for documentation and translation building.
