Convert several preformatted code block literals that enumerate lists of
options or variables to use reST definition lists instead. Manually
wrap other long lines in code blocks.
For example it is now possible to do:
feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES
DISABLED_FEATURES)
That produces an output like:
--
-- The following features have been enabled:
* Feature1
* Feature2
-- The following features have been disabled:
* Feature2
Skipping the lists that are empty.
Without this patch this would require to do:
message(STATUS "")
feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES
DESCRIPTION "The following features have been enabled:")
feature_summary(WHAT DISABLED_FEATURES
DESCRIPTION "The following features have been disabled:")
And empty lists would not be skipped.
The behaviour when WHAT has a single argument (ALL or any option) is
unchanged.
Set a global property in the find_package implementation. Track and
reset that property in the find_dependency macro. Read the property
in FeatureSummary when determining whether to print output.
This means that packages which are found only as dependencies are not
listed by FeatureSummary, but if a project uses find_package elsewhere
directly, then it will be listed by FeatureSummary.

This solves a lots of warnings, e.g. in the FindModulesExecuteAll test. If the
installed version on the system is rather old this may even lead to bugs, e.g.

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
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().

What was given as comment to set_package_info(), now goes into
the PURPOSE field. It was not clear what the comment should contain,
with the PURPOSE this is much clearer now.
Alex
With the PURPOSE a project can state what the package in question
is used for in the project (as opposed to describing what the package
does in general).
TYPE can be one of OPTIONAL (default)
RUNTIME - not needed for building, only at runtime
RECOMMENDED - as OPTIONAL, but you should really have it
REQUIRED - cmake will fail if one of these is not found
This can be set using the new function set_package_properties()
Alex
ADD_FEATURE_INFO() can be used to set the info for a feature,
e.g. an option().
set_feature_info() has been renamed to set_package_info(), since this is
about found or not found packages. For compatiblity set_feature_info()
is still provided.
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
although #9621 did not happen anymore with cmake 2.8.0, probably because
GET_PROPERTY(... GLOBAL ...) now makes the result variable empty instead of
simply not touching it, using FUNCTION() instead of MACRO() makes sure that
the _EnabledFeatures variables is always empty before the GET_PROPERTY()
call (and does not still have the old value from the previous call)

This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's non-find
modules. Most of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices
referring to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing
notices and adds missing notices.
the cmake run and add macros print_enabled/disabled_features() and
set_feature_info(), so projects can get a nice overview at the end of the
cmake run what has been found and what hasn't
FIND_PACKAGE() automatically adds the packages to these global properties,
except when used with QUIET
Maybe this can also be useful for packagers to find out dependencies of
projects.
