These notes apply only for the use case of creating a package for
redistribution on machines other than that where it is built. Clarify
this to readers by placing the discussion in dedicated sections titled
accordingly.
When matching ctest command-line output, we must account for the
formatting of times that take 10 seconds or more. The values are
right-justified, so use " +" to match any amount of space before them.
RPM packages can contain symbolic links to relative paths - including
support for multiple relocation paths through generation of post install
relocation scripts. Add basic support with limitations described in
documentation.
The CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM selected by CMake while configuring the project
should also be used to drive the "preinstall" target during packaging.
Teach CPack to use "cmake --build" instead of constructing the build
command line itself. The "cmake --build" command already knows how
to select the proper make tool.
Make wording of the directory and target properties more consitent
and complementary. Specify that the value is a ";-list" with a link
to the cmake-language(7) manual section on lists.
Add .DELETE_ON_ERROR to the "build.make" files that contain the actual
build rules that generate files. This tells GNU make to delete the
output of a rule if the recipe modifies the output but returns failure.
This is particularly useful for custom commands that use shell
redirection to produce a file.
Do not add .DELETE_ON_ERROR for Borland or Watcom make tools because
they may not tolerate it and would not honor it anyway. Other make
tools that do not understand .DELETE_ON_ERROR will not be hurt.

Add the dependency on the main swig input source file as a normal
DEPENDS option. We cannot use MAIN_DEPENDENCY because if there are
multiple target languages then multiple custom commands would want to
use the same MAIN_DEPENDENCY, but at most one custom command may specify
a given source file as its MAIN_DEPENDENCY. Exposed by a CMP0057
warning.
Revert commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2~20 (add_dependencies: Disallow use with
INTERFACE_LIBRARY, 2013-12-25). Teach our dependency analysis to
transitively follow INTERFACE target utility dependencies as was done or
IMPORTED targets in commit v2.8.6~127^2~1 (Allow add_dependencies() on
imported targets, 2010-11-19). Extend the InterfaceLibrary test with a
case to cover header generation for a header-only INTERFACE library via
a custom target.
The rcc outputs are byproducts of the cmake_autogen rule, not outputs.
We still must run cmake_autogen on every run even if the rcc outputs
exist. Ninja requires explicit byproduct specification, which is now
possible in CMake since commit v3.2.0-rc1~340^2~2 (Add an option for
explicit BYPRODUCTS of custom commands, 2014-11-13). Revise the logic
introduced by commit v3.2.0-rc1~480^2 (QtAutogen: Regenerate qrc files
if their input changes, 2014-09-17) to specify byproducts explicitly.
Extend the ``DATA{Dir/,...}`` syntax with a new ``RECURSE:`` option
to enable recursive matching of associated files. This will allow
an entire directory tree of data to be referenced at once.
