[cmake-developers] EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL behavior change

2019-09-24 Thread Charles Huet
Hi, in CMake 3.14 the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option of add_subdirectory had a behavior change. Here is the MR: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/merge_requests/2816, implementing the requirement from this ticket: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17149. We are negatively impacted by
