CPack NuGet Generator
---------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.12
When build a NuGet package there is no direct way to control an output
filename due a lack of the corresponding CLI option of NuGet, so there
is no ``CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME`` variable. To form the output filename
NuGet uses the package name and the version according to its built-in rules.
Also, be aware that including a top level directory
(``CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY``) is ignored by this generator.
Variables specific to CPack NuGet generator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The CPack NuGet generator may be used to create NuGet packages using
:module:`CPack`. The CPack NuGet generator is a :module:`CPack` generator thus
it uses the ``CPACK_XXX`` variables used by :module:`CPack`.
The CPack NuGet generator has specific features which are controlled by the
specifics ``CPACK_NUGET_XXX`` variables. In the "one per group" mode
(see :variable:`CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING`), ``<compName>`` placeholder
in the variables below would contain a group name (uppercased and turned into
a "C" identifier).
List of CPack NuGet generator specific variables:
.. variable:: CPACK_NUGET_COMPONENT_INSTALL

* Mandatory : NO
* Default : OFF
.. variable:: CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_NAME
CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_NAME

.. variable:: CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_AUTHORS
CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_AUTHORS

.. variable:: CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_TITLE

specified, the package ID is used.
* Mandatory : NO
* Default :
- :variable:`CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISPLAY_NAME`,
- ``CPACK_COMPONENT_GROUP_<groupName>_DISPLAY_NAME``
.. variable:: CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_OWNERS
CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_OWNERS
A comma-separated list of the package creators using profile names
on nuget.org_. This is often the same list as in authors,
and is ignored when uploading the package to nuget.org_.
* Mandatory : NO
* Default : -
.. variable:: CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE_URL
CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE_URL

as nuget.org_.
* Mandatory : NO
* Default : :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE_URL`
.. variable:: CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_LICENSEURL
CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_LICENSEURL
.. deprecated:: 3.20
Use a local license file
