# components defined by the project. The user may set it to only include the
# specified components.
#
+# Instead of specifying all the desired components, it is possible to obtain a
+# list of all defined components and then remove the unwanted ones from the
+# list. The :command:`get_cmake_property` command can be used to obtain the
+# ``COMPONENTS`` property, then the :command:`list(REMOVE_ITEM)` command can be
+# used to remove the unwanted ones. For example, to use all defined components
+# except ``foo`` and ``bar``::
+#
+# get_cmake_property(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL COMPONENTS)
+# list(REMOVE_ITEM CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL "foo" "bar")
+#
# .. variable:: CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL

# Enable/Disable component install for CPack generator <GENNAME>.
