CPack-updates
-------------

* The :module:`CPack` module no longer mangles settings with CMake-special
  characters when they're used as defaults for other settings. The macro
  ``cpack_set_if_not_set``, which was responsible for this, is now deprecated.
CPack: don't mangle CMake-special characters when applying default settings Mangling is prevented by using a function instead of a macro for setting default value of some CPack variables. Function is meant for internal use in CPack.cmake only. Old macro is deprecated but kept for backwards compatibility - was intended for internal use only as it can't be used for CPack after CPack.cmake script is included. Patch removes local workarounds that were required by old macro, fixes default setting of variables that by default inherit value from another variable that already went through old default setting macro (e.g. value of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY caused error for wrong escapes if CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY contained escaped back slashes) and provides a test for correct escaping of characters. 2015-09-09 22:21:07 +02:00			`CPack-updates`
