[CMake] Announcing CMake BASIS, a set of CMake based project interoperability and automation tools

[Andrew Hundt]

CMake BASIS is a set of utilities and standards created with the goal of
making CMake projects and libraries very easy to create, share, and reuse.
It also integrates a lot of useful new CMake functionality such as
documentation
tools and automated packaging that a CMake user would otherwise have to
implement themselves.

GitHub: https://github.com/schuhschuh/cmake-basis/

We have included an overview of CMake BASIS below. If you are interested,
have questions, or wish to contribute we invite you to get in touch with
us. Also, if any CMake developers are interested in bringing any of this
functionality upstream into CMake itself we would also love to hear from
you.

Cheers!
The CMake BASIS Developers

 CMake BASIS<http://opensource.andreasschuh.com/cmake-basis/index.html#cmake-basis>

The *CMake Build system And Software Implementation Standard (BASIS)* makes
it easy to create sharable software and libraries that work together. This
is accomplished by combining and documenting some of the best practices,
utilities, and open source projects available. More importantly, BASIS
supplies a fully integrated suite of functionality to make the whole
process seamless!
