If a config-file sets <package>_FOUND to FALSE, it can now give a reason
using the variable <package>_NOT_FOUND_MESSAGE, which is used by cmFindPackage
and FPHSA.
Alex
When loading a find module or package config file the find_package
command defines several variables to provide information about the
caller's request. Previously this was documented only in the
Modules/readme.txt file which is not distributed. Document the
behavior explicitly in the main find_package documentation.
This patch adds documentation for OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS to cmFindPackage.cxx,
and also extends Modules/readme.txt significantly with regard to how
components should be handled.
Alex
Add an OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS keyword to find_package() so we can have a
clear distinction between required and optional components. Don't allow
a component to be both required and optional.
Alex
Before, find_package in Config mode always set Foo_FOUND to true if the
Config file has been found and could be executed.
If the Config file itself detected some problem, like a missing dependency,
it did not have a way to signal to the outside that the package is not working.
With this patch, if a Config file sets Foo_FOUND to FALSE, this is taken into
account and not overridden.
Alex
If in Config mode a configuration file could not be found, cmake printed
an error, but did not actually stop processing. With SetFatalErrorOccured
it does.
Alex
Define variable CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_WARN_NO_MODULE for use by a project
that wants to use an explicit mode in every call to find_package in
order to generate more specific failure messages. Word the warning
using the new CONFIG and MODULE mode keywords when the minimum required
version of CMake is new enough to have them. Otherwise word the warning
using the old NO_MODULE mode keyword.

Explain exactly why CMake is looking for a package configuration file
and who is expected to provide what:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
By not providing "Find<pkg>.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH the caller
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"<pkg>", but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "<pkg>"
with any of the names:
<pkg>Config.cmake
<pkg>-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "<pkg>" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
set "<pkg>_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.
If "<pkg>" provides separate development package or SDK be sure
it has been installed.
The first paragraph explains how CMake is interpreting the intention of
the caller. This puts the blame or credit at the call site in the
project code where it belongs both when it is a bug and when it is
intentional. It can be dropped in NO_MODULE mode.

In commit 41c2895b (Added version support to Config mode of find_package
command, 2008-01-28) the error message was computed but was not
reported. Add the SetError call to report it.
All find_* commands re-root the list of paths and then add trailing
slashes. Factor this pair of calls out into a dedicated method. The
new method would be the only caller to AddTrailingSlashes, so subsume
that method into it.

This macro can be used to generate basic version files which can be
installed along a Config.cmake file to provide versioning support.
This (3rd try) is implemented using a macro, which maps
the COMPATIBILITY mode to a filename and configure_file()s the
resulting file.
Alex
Now found packages are not stored in ENABLED/DISABLED_FEATURES
anymore, but always in PACKAGES_FOUND/NOT_FOUND.
ENABLED/DISABLED_FEATURES is now only used via
ADD_FEATURE_INFO(), e.g. for stuff set via option().
Alex
As discussed, this adds a switch CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<name>,
which, when set to TRUE, keeps the find_package() command from executing.
When the package is REQUIRED at the same time, an error is generated.
Alex
Implement support for multiarch as specified here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
Detect the <arch> part of <prefix>/lib/<arch> from the implicit library
search path from each compiler to set CMAKE_<lang>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE.
Define CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE using one of these values (they should
all be the same). Teach the find_library and find_package commands to
search <prefix>/lib/<arch> whenever they would search <prefix>/lib.
The system package registry is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE which
has separate views for 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Look in both
views, but prefer the architecture matching the build target platform.
Generalize the "user package registry" created by commit ed0650f6 (Teach
find_package to search a "package registry", 2009-09-01). Define a
corresponding "system" registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This
gives package installers a place to create a registry value that points
at the right location for find_package() to locate the package.
Delete only REG_SZ entries that are specifically detected to point to
invalid paths. This will allow future versions to add other value types
for different purposes.
Some find modules call find_package recursively to locate a package
configuration file for the package instead of searching for individual
pieces. Commit 79e9b755 (Help recursive find_package calls in modules,
2008-10-03) taught find_package to forward the version number and EXACT
arguments through the recursive call automatically. Do the same for the
component list.
Delay computation of the command documentation until it is needed.
It is wasteful to do it in the constructor on every call.

As suggested by Brad, this improves the wording of the error message
in config-mode when config-files were found, but no suitable version.
The patch also contains the small loop-optimization suggested by Brad.
Alex
Before this patch there were two separate vectors, and the code made sure
they always had the same size.
With this patch the code doesn't have to ensure this anymore, there is only
one vector now.
Alex
If in config-mode config files have been found by find_package(), but their
version didn't match the requested version, now all considered files
and their versions are printed (instead of saying "didn't find config file)
Alex
As suggested on cmake-devel, find_package in Config-mode now records
all considered config-files and their versions in
<package>_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS and <package>_CONSIDERED_VERSIONS respectively.
Alex
find_package() now also stores the required version automatically, so it
can be used by FeatureSummary.cmake.
This was one of the requested features for setting up nightly builds
for KDE, since with this functionality it will be possible to write
a file at the end of each project which lists all required packages
and their versions. This file could then be compared for equality
with an older one and if something has changed the build maintainer
can be emailed.
In FeatureSummary.cmake there is now a new function feature_summary(),
which also allows to print the log to a file or into a variable.
It also allows to specify whether to append to a file or to write a new
one, and what information to log.
Docs are still missing.
Alex
Add platform configuration variable CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PATH and user
configuration variable CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH. These specify a set of
directories that will be ignored by all the find commands. Update
FindPackageTest so that several cases will fail without a functioning
CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH.
When <pkg>_DIR is set to an incorrect version we search again and store
the result in the variable, even if it is <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND.
There was a bug in the case when the new search does not find anything
and the old value came from a cache entry with UNINITALIZED type. The
command used to try to load a package configuration file from the last
place searched, and would leave the old wrong value in the entry. This
commit fixes the behavior to avoid trying to load a missing file and to
set the value to <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND as expected.
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.
Applications on Haiku are discouraged from storing their data in $HOME.
This teaches export(PACKAGE) and find_package() to use the BeAPI on
Haiku to store the package registry instead of using ~/.cmake/packages.
See issue #9603.
