tipi-build / cmake-tipi-provider Goto Github PK

Motivation

Currently it's difficult to include the SBOM feature without duplicating the code of it.

Description

• Add to the https://github.com/tipi-build/distro/blob/main/distro.json the SBOM files on the cmake module path
• Fix example to avoid duplicating the SBOM project

Acceptance Criteria

SBOM feature can be used via include(sbom)

Motivation

Plain FetchContent without cmake-tipi-provider is doing an add_subdirectory which makes available all targets to the main project when FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Boost) is called.

In the case of cmake-tipi-provider a call to find_package(boost_filesystem CONFIG REQUIRED) is required because we do the compilation in another CMake build tree and perform an installation to be able to speed up the build and consume cached installed/ trees.

It's possible to bridge both world and provide the ease of FetchContent with the speed of installed/ cache pack without requiring the source code to be always available (cloning the source code of all dependencies for a build is not desirable as it is slow to clone big monorepos like boost, grpc and others and is exactly the value we can provide with FetchContent)

Description

To make this fully transparent we should release and make infer installed cmake packages #564 available, and record installed packages config exported target by parsing out cmake package config file.

Then we could load this information inside cmake-tipi-provider when we resolve the dependency.

Acceptance Criteria

Users of FetchContent with cmake-tipi-provider are not obliged to call find_package to load the targets of the FetchContent'ed installed project.

Motivation

FetchContent works also on projects that don't have install targets, in this configuration tipi could just fallaback to a normal build which would require the source fetching and use the cache.

Description

Detect that there is no installed target and use just a BUILD cache. Which is less performant but would work similar to FetchContent a bit faster for projects that have no install targets.

Acceptance Criteria

Projects without install target can be cached with the cmake-tipi-provider.
