I can also create a patch with boilerplate topics or sections where you can add the information. For planning purposes, do you have information about the generator somewhere that I could look at? A working version of CMake is not accompanied by a public documentation, Documentation generated from the master branch is updated daily here: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/git-master/module/CPackIFW.html Also, what's the time frame for CMake version 3.1.0 ? I don't want to add links to a yet unreleased feature ... The roadmap says early November: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/roadmap_page.php but it's likely to slip some weeks if past experience is a good forecast. Whatever is true about additions to the Qt documentation, the CPackIFW generator looks like it should get a mention in http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-qt.7.html One option would be to add primary prose there and link to that from http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-5.3/cmake-manual.html and http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/deployment.html The CMake documentation can be loaded in creator http://www.kdab.com/context-sensitive-cmake-documentation-qtcreator/ and CMake releases will include a qch file from now on. Eg http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/CMake.qch Thanks, Steve. ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
Re: [Development] [QtIFW] CPack IFW Generator
-Original Message- From: development-bounces+kai.koehne=theqtcompany.com@qt- Subject: [Development] [QtIFW] CPack IFW Generator Hello dear developers! [..] CPack IFW generator generates installers using QtIFW. You can try this using the latest version for developers. http://www.cmake.org/files/dev Or wait CMake version 3.1.0-rc1. Very nice :) [...] If You have any questions, ask them here or email me personally. It would be certainly nice to link to this feature from the Qt Installer Framework documentation. For Qt Creator / Qt documentation, it's not clear to me in which depth this should be documented, since the functionality is not really specific to developers using Qt: People might as well use one of the other backends available in cpack, right? To rephrase: Are there strong reasons apps using Qt + cmake should prefer the new ifw backend, compared to the other backends available? Also, what's the time frame for CMake version 3.1.0 ? I don't want to add links to a yet unreleased feature ... Regards Kai Koehne Hope to communicate with the people responsible for creating documentation.
