Summary0014943: Add an option to cpack to select which component package(s) to generate
DescriptionHello,
In a component-based configuration, the command "cpack --config CPackConfig.cmake" will generate a package for all components listed in CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL.

But in some situations we do not want all packages to be generated, so it would be useful to restrict the package generation to one or more components specified on the command line:

cpack --config CPackConfig.cmake --component comp1 --component comp2 ...

A typical use case:
I use Jenkins to build software binaries for several platforms. Each platform is built in a in separate job. I also need to produce the software documentation which is common to all platforms, so I only need a single job to build it.

In the platform dependent jobs I would like to be able to generate binary packages only:
- cpack --config CPackConfig.cmake --component runtime --component developer-kit

In the documentation generation job, I would like to be able to generate documentation packages only:
- cpack --config CPackConfig.cmake --component doc-user --component doc-developer

Thanks

 You can set CPack variables from the command line with -D.
e.g. cpack -G ZIP -D CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL=foo
The space between -D and the variable name seems to be required.

Multiple components can be separated by semicolon but you will have to take care that they are properly escaped for your environment.

 Thanks a lot for the hint.
I tried this solution but without the space between -D and the variable name, and it did not work. So I confirm this is required.
Thanks for your help
