Libyui Packaging with the New CMake Build Environment

Current Situation

• Lots of different libyui*.rpm packages from lots of individual, independent GitHub repos

• Most of those packages have a -devel subpackage for the header files and a -doc subpackage for auto-generated doxygen documentation

• The main package of each has a .spec file and a .changes file in the repo's package/ subdirectory

Building doxygen Autodocs

CMake supports generating doxygen-based autodocs pretty much out of the box; it's little more than

find_package( Doxygen REQUIRED dot )
doxygen_add_docs( doc ../src )

• Upon merge, a GitHub action will trigger an (internal) Jenkins job:
• Build the package
