A question that is simple and obvious to an expert would be stupid coming from an expert, but isn't stupid at all from a beginner, so ask away and don't feel stupid in the least!

I think that's what Samelian was working on with that link. With just two devs (one of which doesn't know much about cmake), it could take awhile to get the "recipe" together. We also need to keep in mind that each package is going to have some specific options that won't work in all packages... some options might work in a few packages, or maybe just one, so the person doing each specific package would need to figure out those. -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity Desktop Environment Packager
