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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
In case the given version was not only "3" or "4", but something like "4.8"
DESIRED_QT_VERSION was set to an unsupported value. While at it also check
that the version passed in is really in the range of 3.x and 4.x. Also
suggest switching to the more specific find modules if possible.
Handle OpenBSD specific paths in Qt3/Qt4, allowing concurrent building
and installation. Some common programs are renamed with suffixes of
either 3 or 4. Also, allow qt3/qt4 installed under /usr/local to be
searched and recognized appropriately.
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.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436540
-make "find_package(Qt 3)" work
-if DESIRED_QT_VERSION was set, but only the other Qt major version was found
don't override the DESIRED_QT_VERSION set by the user
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
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's find-modules.
Many 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.
