[Paraview] Packaging ParaView

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Michael,

Superbuild can indeed be customized to suit your needs. However,
you'll have to start with a new fork of the repo. As the wiki
explains, http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Superbuild, the Superbuild
simply builds all needed projects and then builds paraview (Look at
paraview.cmake). It also include rules for each of OS to create a
bundle/package (paraview.bundle.cmake). Create a new fork with just
paraview.cmake, paraview.build.cmake, paraview.bundle.common.cmake
(and the fixup scripts for OSX) and then customize these files as per
your needs i.e. tell ParaView to use Qt/HDF from your build, adjust
paraview.bundle.cmake to package extra dependencies, among others.

You can edit the top-level CMakeLists.txt to remove the include(..)
calls to dependencies you are no longer building as part of the
superbuild (or add new ones).

Hope that helps. Feel free to holler if you run into issues or need
further explanations.

I've been looking at two ways to handle this: superbuild and rebranding. I really don't need to rebrand ParaView, as we aren't wrapping in any new functionality. So, I was thinking of going with the superbuild. Can the superbuild be made to only package ParaView provided libraries and plugins? Our analysis package which uses ParaView functionality already provides many of the same dependencies (Qt, HDF) and we build ParaView against these. Therefore, we don't need to duplicate them in the installation package.
