[Dune-devel] This weekend CMake will become default buildsystem

[Christoph Grüninger]

Hi Markus,
thanks for your feedback, but I disagree.

No, I don't assume this. It was published in the Dune minutes
from 2014, it is part of our Flyspray, I announced it on
dune-devel and will do so on the dune user mailing list and 
the
news at our homepage.
If it break for users in Dune-master, so be it, there is a
remaining risk. Once it breaks, hopefully they will check one 
of
lists.
Additionally, user always can revert breaking commits. That 
should
be enough, I don't think we should treat our users as stupid 
and
I will not support the Vollkasskomentalität (being over 
protective).

Actually, I want to get breaking builds now. I want to get 
feedback,
bug reports and issues. Now. Right before the release would 
make
Dune 2.4 potentially a bad release and break builds of more
conservative users.

So unless you or someone else veto for further discussions, 
I'll
proceed with my announced plan.

Best,
Christoph
