Hey,

so while this is a suitable solution for 3-level transitive packages, it will break as soon as you have
more than that..
i realized there is no "native" solution to the problem, and the solution in the below link indeed helps for many cases. however, facing a ever-more cmake'ified software environment (which is good!), we will sooner or later encounter "downstream" package constellations that have transitive linking into cmake packages over more than 3 levels.. so i think it is worth while discussing/thinking about a suitable design to include.

best,
Daniel

Hello all,

I'm struggling with the CMake "Config"-based package description when
using two depending packages where the upstream package has optional
link libraries.
For reference, you have the right answer and the link to the right
documentation on SO
