Re: New build system

OK, so effectively there will be a temporary build system branch. Could
this be placed on fenics.org so that we can follow it?
Actually, I do not see any need for a branch. The build part is exactly the same
for now as it has been. The only thing that will change is now you do not have
to specify all the configure options since we will have search, and
more exhaustive
tests will be run on what you specify. If you want to replicate the
previous functionality,
just specify everything up front like you have been. Asmund, do you agree?
Matt
Also, what time frame are we looking at?
