The language is very simple. It use ##<keyword> special comment
which opens a structured documentation block and ##end closes it.
This may be used to extract documentation for macro as 'command'
and 'variables' such that cpack --help-command and --help-variable
does parse builtin modules files (CPack.cmake, CPackComponent.cmake,
...) in order to extract the corresponding doc.
This modifications set tries to keep the unified doc for cmake/ctest/cpack
while introducing tool specific documentation separated.
Some documentation sections for CMake do not fit well to CPack.
...when building CPack archive-based packages (.tar.gz and similar)
Rather, put the symlinks-to-directories into the archive as files,
and expect/trust that the things the symlinks point to are also in
the archive.
Fix NSIS template to more thoroughly use CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY.
This allows different versions of software to have a separate sections in the
registry to keep track of things (installed components, and uninstall stuff).
Change default of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY to follow the value of
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY so if an installation overwrites another installation,
the proper registry entries are more likely to be overwritten.
Fix CPack/NSIS generator to not insert code in the NSIS template to skip installation
of already installed components. This enables a repair like behavior and also enables
installing patch releases on top of an older installation.
Copy the files specified in CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_CONTROL_EXTRA to the right
directory when packaging components. This fixes#12061.

Also allow generators to override the default packaging method.
Add a ONE_PER_GROUP option so that method can be specified by the user without relying on defaults.
RPM cannot easily 'merge' differents directory into a single RPM
with shared prefix. So more flexibility has been added to generic
CPackGenerator in order to let the specific generator chose the
local installation directory for each component.
Previously, only strings containing "http:" qualified as
URLs when found in CPACK_NSIS_MENU_LINKS. Now, we use a
regex to detect strings beginning with any of the following:
ftp://
ftps://
http://
https://
news://
mailto:
This commit also moves the caller of CreateMenuLinks outside
the "if (cpackPackageExecutables)" block, allowing clients to
use CPACK_NSIS_MENU_LINKS without also having CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES
defined. That bit of this commit fixes the remainder of the
issue described in http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7828
Also, added a set(CPACK_NSIS_MENU_LINKS ...) to the CPackComponents
test to enable verifying that all of this actually works.
MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN is frequently used with NSIS and provides a checkbox
on the finish page of an installer which specifies whether the specified
executable should be run when the installer exits. This commit adds support
for this setting in CPack.
NSIS installers default to assuming the executables exist in a
directory named "bin" under the installation directory. As this
isn't usual for Windows programs, the addition of this variable
allows the customization of this directory and links still to be
created correctly.
Previously both CPACK_NSIS_MUI_ICON and CPACK_NSIS_MUI_UNIICON
needed to be set for either to take effect. This commit allows
either to be set rather than requiring both as users may well
want to e.g. use a default uninstall icon but a custom install
icon.
Previously, we would search in the Windows registry for the path
to makensis, and fail immediately if we could not read the registry
value, assuming that it was simply not installed.
This change looks for makensis in the PATH even if the registry value
is not there, enabling the scenario where makensis is installed without
admin privileges and never even touches HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE during the
non-admin install.
This authorize more control because one can set
CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL to ON globally
and then set it selectively to OFF inside
a CPack project config file.
Sidenote: GetOption ought to be a 'const' method.
This fixes bugs #0011355 and 0008342.
The merged patch is a contribution from Michael Lasmanis and Petri Hodju
with some extra documentation added by the merger.
The proposed solution is to avoid to CopyIfDifferent any links
found in CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES but memorize them instead
then at the end of the processing for each dir do re-create the
link in the installed tree.
Current patch should work if the link are "local" to the directory.
The idea of the patch is to let the install generator define
CPACK_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_FILES then when CMake is installing
project he will concatenate the list of files and give
it to specific CPack Generator by defining CPACK_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_FILES
to be the list of ALL files that were installed using absolute destination.
An example of use has been applied to RPM generator which now
tries to automatically build a relocatable package.

cd7b8a0 CPack: Refactor API in order to handle multi-file packages
The multi-argument CompressFiles(...) method has been replace by the
no-argument PackageFiles() method and 3 more member variables. This
will enable implemention of multi-package generators. Now each specific
generator (which overloads PackageFiles()) may decide to change the name
and/or the number of generated package files.
Change types of local variables, or casting, or re-arrange
expressions to get rid of "conversion may alter value" warnings
as seen on recent dashboard submissions from londinium.kitware.
This allows for a built in bzip and zip capability, so external tools
will not be needed for these packagers. The cmake -E tar xf should be
able to handle all compression types now as well.
Since Haiku does not have /usr (and therefore /usr/local), this commit
changes the default install prefix to the equivalent directory of
/boot/common.
See issue #9607.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
The GNU compiler warns about possible operator precedence mistakes and
asks for explicit parentheses (-Wparentheses). We add the parentheses
to silence the warning. This also fixes one real logic error in the
find_package() implementation by correcting expression evaluation order.
All global generator CreateLocalGenerator methods automatically
initialize the local generator instances with SetGlobalGenerator. In
several places we were calling SetGlobalGenerator again after receiving
the return value from CreateLocalGenerator. The double-initializations
leaked the resources allocated by the first call to SetGlobalGenerator.
This fix removes the unnecessary calls.
This class provides easy syntax to efficiently insert blocks of data
into XML documents with proper escapes. It replaces the old
cmCTest::MakeXMLSafe and cmSystemTools::MakeXMLSafe methods which
allocated extra memory instead of directly streaming the data.
Details:
==========
- New cpack_add_component, cpack_add_component_group, and
cpack_add_install_type "commands" defined as macros in the CPack
module.
- Documentation for all of the variables and commands in the CPack module.
- Added get_cmake_property(... COMPONENTS) to CMake to ask for the
names of all components. Used in the CPack module to automatically
build component-based installers. (Set CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL to
turn off component-based installation).
- A group can declare its PARENT_GROUP, to build an arbitrary
hierarchy of groups.
- New CPack command cpack_configure_downloads, which creates an
installer that downloads only the selected components on-the-fly.
Those components marked DOWNLOADED will be separate packages
downloaded on-the-fly (or, all packages can be marked as such with the
ALL option to cpack_configure_downloads). Individual components are
compressed with ZIP at installer-creation time and
downloaded/uncompressed by the installer as needed. This feature is
only available on Windows with NSIS at the moment.
- NSIS installers can install themselves and enable the "Change"
button in Add/Remove programs, allowing users to go back and install
or remove components. This can be disabled through
cpack_configure_downloads, because it's only really useful is most of
the application's functionality is in downloaded components.
- Bug fix: automatically install everything whose COMPONENT was not
specified (it's a hidden, required group)
- Bug fix: fixed removal of components when re-running the NSIS
installer and unchecking components
- Bug fix: NSIS installers now only install/remove the minimal
number of files when re-run to update the installation (or by clicking
"Change" in Add/Remove programs)
It seems rpmbuild can't handle paths with spaces, it complains that
Buildroot takes only one tag (or something like this), quoting and escaping
don't seem to help.

-remove the unscriptable commands also from the cpack cmake
-use CPACK_PACKAGE_CONTACT in CMakeCPack.cmake, it's used in the nsis and
the deb generator
-make set_properties() scriptable
-use a non-const char array for adding the python modules

Additionally the makefile in cmCPackGenericGenerator is now protected
instead of private, so with these two changes the cpack generators should
now be able to find their tools and how to call these tools from cmake
scripts, instead of hardcoding the search order and command line (as done
e.g. in cmCPackZIPGenerator.cxx)
