[cmake-developers] [CPackIFW] Adding QtIFW 2.0 Support (Technical Preview)

[Konstantin Podsvirov]

Hello dear developers!

Recently we learned the good news about the release QtIFW 2.0:

http://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/04/07/qt-installer-framework-2-0-released

And I too was delighted at once. But then I was faced with an unstable work of the installer on Windows and it upset me.

I think QtIFW 2.0 as quickly as possible became better - you need to actively use and test in various situations.

On adding support QtIFW 2.0 now I work in a topic branch cpack-ifw-develop:

http://git.podsvirov.pro/?p=kitware/cmake.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpack-ifw-develop

All those interested can get acquainted with the code, but I want to submit online installers CMake based on this code, and built by ourselves :-) :

Two installer collected in Debian 8:

http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-master-i386-online.run

http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-master-amd64-online.run

And two installer collected in Windows 7:

http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-master-win32-online.exe

http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-master-win64-online.exe

Working with cpack-ifw-develop I will periodically update the online repository.

The presented version of CMake (CPackIFW) already know how to work with QtIFW 2.0 but not in full.
I would like to know from users CPackIFW and QtIFW what functionality demanded in the first place.
Suggest we discuss the quality of the generated configuration files.

Also available documentation:

http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/doc/doxygen

When I decide that the support QtIFW 2.0 has reached an acceptable state, we will begin work on the integration of changes.

Waiting for answers, questions, suggestions!
