A few minutes ago, Bill Hoffman from Kitware posted short message to the CMake project mailing list with an interesting announce:
Kitware launched its first developer blog today with contributions from Company technical and business leaders.
The CMake build system is one of the main category of topics on the Kitware blog, so I presume it may be of interest of OSGeo Community as the CMake build system is slowly winning over more and more folks here :-)
First CMake-related post is about Deploying on Windows with DLL Manifest Issue
Another interesting post on the blog is Will Schroeder’s answer to the question Why Open Source Will Rule Scientific Computing? It’s really worth reading.

Denis Arnaud prepared RPM packages for SOCI library version 3.0.0. As Denis explains, these RPM packages primarily target Fedora family, but should work on other RPM-based distributions.
Currently, SOCI 3.0.0 RPM packages are available to download from Open Travel Request Parser project website. By the way, I’ve revealed Open Travel Request Parser uses SOCI, it’s really nice.
SOCI is a database access library for C++ that makes the illusion of embedding SQL queries in the regular C++ code, staying entirely within the Standard C++. It also fits very well to the world of templates defined in C++ Standard Library and offers extensive integration with data types from Boost C++ Libraries like optional, tuple and fusion:
Rowset rs = (sql.prepare << "select name from persons");
std::copy(rs.begin(), rs.end(), std::ostream_iterator(cout, "\n"));
Not to mention the coolness of flexible support for user-defined types.
