[CMake] CMake 3.12 rc2 to rc3 Regression

[Michael Jackson]

Thank you for the links. 

 

After reading through all the various discussions is there a time line of when the feature will be added back to CMake? Is it a matter of having somebody to work the problem? Is the problem solvable?

Searching the mailing list archives for the RC3 announcement I scrolled to the bottom and found:

Brad King (2):
      Revert "target_link_libraries: Allow use with targets in other
directories"
      CMake 3.12.0-rc3

Just curious what caused the issue to revert the change?

 

 

The original problem report was on the dev mailing list:

 

https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake-developers/2018-June/030740.html

 

 

The longer history of how the feature evolved and was then reverted can be found here:
