Hey Alfredo, Just a heads up that the changes to gitbuilder to enable cmake were pretty minimal. It basically comes down to using the make-dist script to generate the tarball instead of running ./autogen.sh, ./configure, and then 'make dist' just to get the tarball. Here's what we changed: https://github.com/ceph/autobuild-ceph/commit/eccdc8f61273e97710203eaae55a2c4258b64087 It's slightly annoying because older branches won't have make-dist, but newer branches will, and it has to do a build both ways. Not too crazy, though. The other change was that we have a new environment variable for passing down cmake optons that parallels the old CEPH_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS: https://github.com/ceph/autobuild-ceph/commit/71d02e8b2c9bd3533c44b3bf0408681ed7890248 I'm guessing we don't need that for a proper release, but in case we do, the script should just set both. Anyway, with those changes, the final step is to change debian/rules and ceph.spec.in in ceph.git itself to build using cmake instead of autotools, but as long as the source tarball is coming from make-dist the ceph-build stuff doesn't need to know or care about that--it's all hidden by rpmbuild and dpkg-buildpackage/pbuilder. As soon as the deb and rpm changes are working when built by the gitbuilders (basically there with debs, rpms up next) I think we should do a dev release through the new jenkins pipeline to demonstrate that the whole thing works. Maybe the week after next?
