CPack-FreeBSD: add a generator for FreeBSD pkg(8)
Adds an option CPACK_ENABLE_FREEBSD_PKG to allow CPack to look
for FreeBSD's libpkg / pkg(8). If this is set and the libpkg
headers and library are found (which they will be, by default,
on any FreeBSD system), then add a FreeBSD pkg(8) generator.
The FreeBSD package tool pkg(8) uses tar.xz files (.txz) with two
metadata files embedded (+MANIFEST and +COMPACT_MANIFEST).
This introduces a bunch of FreeBSD-specific CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_*
variables for filling in the metadata; the Debian generator does
something similar. Documentation for the CPack CMake-script is styled
after the Debian generator.
Implementation notes:
- Checks for libpkg -- the underlying implementation for pkg(8) --
and includes FreeBSD package-generation if building CMake on
a UNIX host. Since libpkg can be used on BSDs, Linux and OSX,
this potentially adds one more packaging format. In practice,
this will only happen on FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD.
- Copy-paste from cmCPackArchiveGenerator to special-case
the metadata generation and to run around the internal
archive generation: use libpkg instead.
- Generating the metadata files is a little contrived.
- Most of the validation logic for package settings is in
CPackFreeBSD.cmake, as well as the code that tries to re-use
packaging settings that may already be set up for Debian.
- libpkg has its own notion of output filename, so we have
another contrived bit of code that munges the output file
list so that CPack can find the output.
- Stick with C++98.
