Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Find modules only detect Debug and Release configurations. All other
configurations will fall back to the configuration listed as the first
entry in `IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS`. Switch the order so that `Release`
is listed first, as this is a better fallback than `Debug` for the
`RelWithDebInfo` and `MinSizeRel` configurations. See issue #16091.
This approach is recommended by documentation in `cmake-developer(7)`
added by commit v3.2.0-rc1~286^2~1 (Help: Document IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS
target property for Find modules, 2014-12-04).
Search for both release and debug library variants, and use
SelectLibraryConfigurations to choose the appropriate
library. Also add both release and debug libraries to the
imported targets.
- autodetects Ice on all major platforms
- allows building with all supported Visual Studio versions on Windows
- autodetects the slice path on most platforms
- separately detects the Ice programs, headers, slice files and
libraries so that any Ice configuration or installation errors can
be accurately reported, making diagnosis of Ice problems simpler
