Hi Scot,
Appreciate the time you’ve put into this.
*When you get a chance, could you share a quick summary of what you found?*
I’ve heard that *CMake *(which I’m working on) together with *CPack *can generate packages *with less effort*, so maybe that’s *something we could explore.*
Just so you know where I’m at so far with my CMake build:
- https://github.com/bonomani/xymon/tree/cmake/bootstrap
- I created 2 (actually 4) reference builds: Debian and FreeBSD (BSD), using |./configure|, |make|, |make install|.
- I set up multiple validation CMake builds (various Linux and BSD targets) that compare against those reference builds *using GitHub workflows*. (Start to have a lot of them)
- (I’m taking a break from the CMake build project for now.)
Thanks.
Bruno

Gents,
I hate to say this, but I’ve bitten off too much here. I’ve been working with the spec file from JC as well as the original spec file from Henrik. I don’t want to throw away all the work JC has done on the spec file… there’s too much good stuff there. I’ve got a good 40+ hours into trying to build a new one from it with very little progress. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to be able to author the new spec file. There’s too much programming knowledge required that I just don’t have. I’m still willing and able to create and maintain the workflows for the RPMs, help with testing, spec file maintenance, etc, but the new spec file is going to have to be authored by someone else.
