There's 2 issues we'd like some wider input. What disadvantages or side- effects are there to: 1. setting a default CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE? 2. building with -DNDEBUG by default? Personally, 1. Re: CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: I feel anything that breaks due to this is probably already broken in some regard, and is worth fixing anyway. After all, we did make this easy to set/override manually. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
