</div>1. or 3. depends on the package capability.<br>
Typically NSIS and PackageMaker may prefer 1. but you cannot do 1. with<br>
DEB or RPM so you have to go with 3.<br>
<br>
2. may always be an option because it was the behavior we had before the<br>
component support and ALL CPack generator may handle an all-in-one package.<br>
We could add an OPTION like CPACK_COMPONENT_ALL_IN_ONE which<br>
would basically tell CPack to ignore the component aspect.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>FYI: there already is an option that's similar to this, I think: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Menlo; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 132, 25); ">CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL</span></div>
<div>Does that have the effect you're talking about or are you thinking something different?</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
3. is an option for any current packages including tar.gz, zip etc...<br>
(and probably even NSIS and PackageMaker).<br>
<br>
So I would say that depending on the generator "intrinsic" capabilities<br>
it should (in that order)<br>
<br>
chose 2) if CPACK_COMPONENT_ALL_IN_ONE is True<br>
chose 1) if possible<br>
chose 3) if possible<br>
chose 2) as a failover.<br>
