Hi,
for a specific cmake project on windows there was 7zip cpack support
requested. The appended patch adds those support to cpack.
It works like the zip generator with one extension: It is possible to
run 7z with additional options by defining the (newly introduced)
CPACK_GENERATOR_7Z_OPTIONS variable.
What would you think about extending the current zip generator instead of
adding a new 7zip generator ?
An <OPTIONS> tag can be added also in CPackZIP.cmake, if necessary something
could be added so that CPackZIP.cmake finds only "wzzip" or "7z" or "zip",
something like CPACK_ZIP_REQUIRED_TOOL or something like this.
What do you think ?
following the currently available list of generators
Generators
NSIS = Null Soft Installer
STGZ = Self extracting Tar GZip compression
TBZ2 = Tar BZip2 compression
TGZ = Tar GZip compression
TZ = Tar Compress compression
ZIP = ZIP file format
there should not only be 7Z added, but S7Z and SZIP too.
The main question is how to specifiy the generator interface in a
consistent way to be open for further extensions - currently there is a
mixture of tools, archive types, compression and output formats.
