Summary0011177: Add CTEST_PACK
DescriptionIn addition to CTEST_BUILD and CTEST_TEST a CTEST_PACK would be great.
This should run cpack and upload(!) the generated installer/archive (exe, tar.gz, deb, rpm, ...) to CDash where everybody can download the generated installer (e.g. a nightly build).
Additional InformationAt the moment this is possible via a custom execute_process (see http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CTest:Buildserver#Buildmaster [^]), but that's more a hack than a clean solution.

 You could also use the ctest_build command to do this, and have it build the PACKAGE target.

 is there a clean way to "upload" the package? that seams to be a missing feature

 How would that work? ssh, web upload? file copy to an nfs mount? Seems like there are too many ways to get the file to an upload site for it to be abstracted beyond execute_process.

What did you have in mind?

 I want to upload it to CDash. If a file was uploaded via ctest_submit, a additional column will be shown, where you can download this file (output of cpack).

 I see... Interesting idea... Although having CDash store large blobs like this might be an issue. Perhaps I should move this issue to the CDash project.

 It will already help if CDash will provide a "callback" where the user can implement a custom storage algorithm.
Is it already possible to UPLOAD (send) files via CMake?

 I prefer the approach of running:
cmake --build . --target package --config Release

as a "BuildPackage" test in the test suite. This way, the output of running the above command can be displayed as a passed/failed test on the dashboard.

Then, if all tests pass, you know you have a package ready for the upload step.

No need for a ctest_pack command. (You could just run the above command with execute_process in your ctest script if you don't want to add a test to your test suite to do it...)

 Having a ctest_pack command would be useful. It will avoid to parse the output of cpack.

 Not enough time left to address this issue before the 2.8.6 release. Deferred until a future release.

 You can easily build your installer via other means, there's no need for a ctest_pack function.

And now, there's the ctest_upload function in 2.8.6 and later. You can upload files to CDash (still at this point only in the svn trunk version of CDash) and have them appear as downloadable files attached to builds.
