...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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
