If you need that for some special purpose, go for it, but it's probably not a behavior most users would expect, and it's definitely a behavior that would have to be disabled in any software installed by a package management system. (The package management system would want to be in control of what gets downloaded.) -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
