Summary0011040: TXZ support to cpack
DescriptionCurrently, cpack only supports TZ, TGZ, TBZ2, ZIP as its compress format. It would be better it could support TXZ (tar.xz) also.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationThere is a draft patch here:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/cmake/current/SOURCES/cmake-2.8.2-xz-support.patch [^]

But it is based the code of cmake 2.8.1, I don't know if it is suitable for 2.8.2 because of migration to libarchive.
TagsNo tags attached.

As far as I understand tar.xz is TAR + LZMA compression.
So it should be easy to copy paste any of
the current TGZ/TZ/TBZ2 generator.

libarchive should support lzma if libzma is found
however lzma support is not currently builtin the CMake tree.

I don't know whether if it would be possible to add
a cmlzmalib just like cmzlib, cmbzip2 etc...

CMake build should not rely on external libs...

May be you may begin by adding a clean
FindLZMA.cmake module and then add a CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_LZMA
which would makes it possible to build CMake with an
out-of-tree LZMA.

So I would suggest to first submit a FindLZMA.cmake module

Resolved as "won't fix" pending a patch against current (CMake 2.8.3 or git 'master') source tree, and also pending a way to get an lzma lib on all the platforms that CMake currently supports.

If you can do those things, and volunteer to help out with dashboard issues that may arise due to this addition, we'll re-consider this issue.

Please re-open if you have the time and motivation to follow through in this manner.

Thanks.
