The latter is now the preferred URL for visiting cmake.org with a
browser. Convert using the shell code:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's|http://www\.cmake|https://cmake|g'
Our upstream-built release tarballs already contain many unversioned
paths and so will never overlap with another version of CMake in the
same installation prefix. Therefore we do not need a versioned name for
the documentation directory. Configure our release binaries to place
the documentation in an unversioned directory so that one can use the
same path to refer to the documentation locally even after updating
CMake. For example, on OS X one may see the documentation in
`/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/doc/cmake/html/index.html`.
Disable the CMake_INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES option by default and turn it on
explicitly in our packaging scripts. This simplifies packaging in
distributions that provide the dependencies for us without having to
install them. We only need 3rd-party runtime dependencies to be
installed for packaging with redistributable binaries.
For the nightly binaries, turn of CMAKE_USE_OPENSSL on Windows and OS X
10.6+ platforms. This will activate the new curl behavior to use the
OS-native SSL/TLS implementation.
In commit v3.1.0-rc1~52^2 (Make the OSX 10.6+ release x86_64 only,
2014-09-29) we forgot to remove the name "universal" from the binary
name. Since the binary is no longer universal, use "x86_64" instead.
While at it, update the deployment target to actually be 10.6.
Use the CPack DragNDrop generator instead of the deprecated PackageMaker
tool to package CMake itself. This provides an installation experience
that is more consistent with other products on OS X and allows users to
select the destination directory easily. It also avoids installing
"/private/var/db/receipts/com.Kitware.CMake.*" receipts that must be
removed by "pkgutil --forget com.Kitware.CMake" before another version
of CMake can be installed.
The DragNDrop installer does not support a post-flight script, so drop
our configuration of it. The cmake-gui has an option for installing
symbolic links to enable command-line use. In practice users may simply
add "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin" to their PATH instead.
Since commit 71b14dcb (Utilities/Release: Do not upload doc staging
tarball, 2014-02-26) the prefix upload_release.cmake computes does not
match any files when used with -DVERSION=master as has been done for the
nightly binary builds. Since the version is not actually 'master'
anyway, change the nightly binary upload logic to explicitly pass the
destination directory. Do not pass any VERSION so the default is taken
and matches the binaries.
Name the pre-built docs tarball on the remote machine according to the
release script name so that multiple tarballs going to a single remote
machine do not clobber one another.
Avoid requiring all build machines for the upstream packaging process to
have Python and Sphinx installed. Instead create a way to build the
documentation once on the host machine and copy it to each build machine
as a tarball with content to include in the installation tree for
packaging.
Download http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt and place
it as Licenses/LGPLv2.1.txt in our source tree. When building cmake-gui,
use option CMake_GUI_DISTRIBUTE_WITH_Qt_LGPL to enable notification
in the "About" dialog of how the distribution of Qt is licensed.
Install the license file as ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Licenses/LGPLv2.1.txt so that
the dialog can display a path to it.
Raise the default "maxdata" linker setting on the 32-bit AIX release
binaries. This allows the CMake binaries to process larger projects
without encountering a "Segmentation fault in extend_brk".
Our Linux release machine 'magrathea' has a very old Linux to help build
portable binaries. It is so old that <elf.h> does not define the
DT_RUNPATH constant. Define the correct value in the build flags to
activate handling of ELF RUNPATH entries in the binary release.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
Then, use ctest_sleep to separate uploads by at least one
second each, so that the files on the web server all get
distinct time stamps.
Then, when viewed on the web server, sorted by time, they
are also sorted alphabetically.
Only temporarily until we can setup a new cygwin build machine
for making releases. It's specific to the script that runs on
dash2win64 anyhow. When we add a new script to run it on a
different machine, and stop building the cygwin releases on
dash2win64, this change will naturally no longer apply.
