Hi All,
I did add a patch for the "multiple file problem"
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10736
May be interested people can have a try and comment
this patch.
It adds the possibility for any CPack generators to generate multiple file.
It adds "preliminary" support for component to all "Archive Generators"
(ZIP, TGZ, STGZ etc...) as an example of use.
The change is "backward compatible" in the sense that if
all CPack generators (but the archive one) behaves as before
with either componentized project or not.
Waiting for feedback before going on
So I wondered if we were basically getting 3 modes out of this:
1. put multiple components in one components aware package (nsis,
packagemaker,...).
2. put multiple components in one non-component aware package (tar.gz, .zip...).
3. put multiple components in multiple packages (all cpack generators).
And how does one choose the behavior they want?
Also, I wondered if one could choose which components they want to go in
the package for #2, and which components go into which packages in #3.
Right now, there is no choice in #2. Also, for #3, would I be able to
choose to have 2 required components in one .tar.gz, and each optional
component in their own tar.gz file.
I also saw in the patch that the multi-filenames were being pushed up
into the generators. I wondered if some component logic and filenames
can remain in the base class, and generator subclass functions called
multiple times for each file with a list of components to include. It
seems that would also be a step towards fixing
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10130.
But I'm sure you had some thoughts too, and maybe a different way to
include functionality I'm hoping for.
Thanks,
Clint
