I am proposing working together to create one build system that can

benefit if we share this work. Right now we have multiple parallel
and conflicting build systems. I think the asterisk build system has
some good examples for what we could do.

That sounds good, and I am willing to help out. I could take some externals and hack up a demo to see what people think.

However, going back to the subject of this specific thread, is the move to an svn repository dependent upon resolving this discussion about build systems? There are benefits to making the move, even with the exact same structure and content that exists today. Furthermore, restructuring things in an svn repo is "cheap" and easy, and could easily be done after the move.

What, if anything, must be resolved before someone can move everything to svn?
