Maybe your solution can convince me otherwise. > An example where per-component versions would be really useful is if you have one large build that produces multiple products (i.e. one git repo and one CMake build). You may want to be able to create a release package for each product, but if each product has its own distinct version number, then you currently can't quite do it with CMake for some package types. I have exactly this situation at work at the moment. In one project, I get away with it because the release packages are tar balls so I just provide a custom name that embeds the version number for each product using CPACK_ARCHIVE_<component-name>_FILE_NAME. But I have other projects which produce RPMs and for those I don't currently have a solution. -- Craig Scott Melbourne, Australia https://crascit.com
