Remove Makefile.ori files about datetime-fortran HOT 9 CLOSED

👍

Do we still want to implement the CMake building? Is it desirable in any way to have multiple build systems? If yes, it may make sense to keep the original Makefiles around for reference (module dependencies etc.). Or maybe I am just a hoarder. What do you think?

I see no real need to add a CMake build system. The only advantage that I can think of is that CMake provides an alternative to package-config for locating libraries, modules, etc. but I think CMake also knows how to use package-config.

As far as the old makefiles go, @milancurcic should be the ultimate judge of that. My vote is that if you're happy with the Makefiles that are generated by automake, then feel free to delete the old makefiles; they're still in the git history if anyone needs to go dig them up.

My advice: do not add CMake unless it's proven that we need to. Maintaining one build system is work enough.

Got it, just wanted to make sure.

yes, I agree with @blippy

I know what you mean about the hoarding. What I generally do is put my old files into a directory called 'bak', which I sometimes clear out periodically.

My advice is to delete the ori files, though, as it just causes confusion with extra "stuff" everywhere. Remember, too, that the Makefile.am were largely just based on your original Makefiles, with some fancy tinsel sprinkled on to make autotools do some interesting extras.

So they can be reconstructed if necessary.

In an afterthought, I realize they can also be resurrected from a past version of the branch. Git is great.
