[cmake-developers] Need more information concerning the Trilinos test of CMake

[Alan W. Irwin]

A PLplot configure, build, and test is an excellent indirect test 
of modern CMake because PLplot currently uses

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6.2 FATAL_ERROR)

and has a relatively small and fast build but with a rather complex
build system for its size that has been developed over the course of
the last decade. Accordingly Bill Hoffman suggested to me off-list
some time ago that I configure a CMake dashboard submission that
builds the master HEAD CMake version and tests it with a build and
test of PLplot similarly to what is done for Trilinos.  But I am only
getting around to this now, and all I can find in the CMake source
code with regard to Trilinos is Tests/Contracts/Trilinos.

Could someone here please confirm that code is a good model for
what I should set up in the PLplot case?

Assuming that is the case, and I modify my local CMake git repository
to add the required files in Tests/Contracts/PLplot and build that
modified CMake, how would I
submit an Experimental CMake dashboard to test my work?

Or more directly, how would I submit an Experimental CMake dashboard to test
the existing Trilinos case?
