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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Make `CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION` fallback variable precedence
match CPackRPM behavior as much as possible. This is technically a
breaking change, but the new behavior is more consistent with
expectation anyway.
Closes: #16272
Prevent accidental inter component dependency setting
since this is a breaking feature in situations where
another CPack module is already using the feature.
It should be enabled if desired since it can cause
issues when upgrading only one of the components
for e.g. configuration instead of all the components
at once.
This patch preserves backward compatibility of
deb package names with previous CMake versions
but similarly to CPack/RPM allows to change
package name format and supports DEB-DEFAULT
setting that produces proper Debian package names.
If CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH is set and contains $ORIGIN then
dpkg-shlibdeps searches for the DEBIAN directory in order
to resolve $ORIGIN in the rpath to a directory. We need to
create the DEBIAN directory for this to work.
The latter is now the preferred URL for visiting cmake.org with a
browser. Convert using the shell code:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's|http://www\.cmake|https://cmake|g'
Check for this flag explicitly in the --help output before using it. It
turns out there are some versions of the tool that support --version but
not --ignore-missing-info.
Preparation for per component variables.
Patch makes sure we know which variables
will be set for per component generator
and also prevents accidental overflows
of variable values between components.
Add a CPACK_DEBIAN_COMPRESSION_TYPE option to set the compression type.
Default to 'gzip' to preserve existing behavior. Use "cmake -E tar"
for 'gzip', 'bzip2', and 'none'. Use system "tar" for 'lzma' and 'xz'.
Drop #end and #module. Convert #section to a subsection header.
Convert #variable to the cmake domain "variable" directive.
Convert #macro to the cmake domain "command" directive.
Perform minor formatting fixes in text near these changes.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$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
CPack help will be searched in any CPack*.cmake file located
near to CPack.cmake file. The script files is parsed iff
the first line begin with ##section. Moreover the documentation
section name is specified on the remaining part of the line
minus the space immediately following ##section.
- Enhance extract doc parser. Seems robust now. The legacy
module documentation parser works as before ignoring
the new markup.
- Proof of concept for CPack (generic), CPack RPM and CPack Deb
generator for macro and variables.
Try cpack --help-command and cpack --help-variables
