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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Use clang-tidy's readability-simplify-boolean-expr checker.
After applying the fix-its, revise all changes *very* carefully.
Be aware of false positives and invalid changes.
Use clang-tidy's performance-unnecessary-value-param checker to find
value parameter declarations of expensive to copy types that are not
modified inside the function. Ignore findings in kwsys.
After applying the fix-its, manually change `const T&` to `T const&`.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

Packagers may now set their own rpm package
file names or request that rpmbuild tool
chooses one for them. It also supports handing
of situations where one spec file may produce
multiple rpm packages.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
For example, when CPACK_<GEN>_COMPONENT_INSTALL and
CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL are both set. Previously, this
combination of variable settings produced an error without
any explanation. Now, in this case CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL wins
without trouble.
This is useful for when e.g. CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL is
globally on and one wants MONOLITHIC install for STGZ (but not
other generators). The same behavior may be obtained by re-setting
CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL to 0 but in any case the
'both set' case should have been handled without error.
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 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.
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.
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.
