[MIR] cmake-extras

[Martin Pitt]

See http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.svg . libqtdbustest (in main) has grown a build dependency on cmake-extras in universe, and as the train *again* seems to not enforce components this renders libqtdbustest FTBFS in wily.

cmake-extras is an Ubuntu-native, train-maintained package with just a dozen common cmake snippets. This is exclusively build-time, no runtime binary packages, nothing compiled, etc.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cmake-extras/+bugs just has two bugs for improvements, nothing serious.

Uses standard packaging.

The main thing that this is missing is a bug subscriber. I propose https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-team as that's the subscriber for libqtdbustest already. @Ted, someone else from that team, please add a team bug subscription.

I've added the bug subscriber

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

the package looks ok, just adding some build support files.

How well is the package maintained upstream? There are four open bug reports without any feedback. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/cmake-extras.

LP: #1476488 looks like a regression in build time compared to the approach given in the issue.

[Pete Woods (pete-woods)]

I guess I'm becoming maintainer of this thing realistically, so I've gone and fixed a bunch of the outstanding bugs.

(note that the binary packages for the fixes now only live in the vivid/wily overlay PPA)

Matthias' issues in comments #2 seem to be addressed now, team is subscribed, Pete maintains it, and I see no other outstanding issues, so I promoted this now.
