This means that +that all packaged files are fully contained in the installer executable. + +In contrast, an *online installer* will download some or all components from +a remote server. + +The ``DOWNLOADED`` option in the :command:`cpack_add_component` command +specifies that a component is to be downloaded. Alternatively, the ``ALL`` +option in the :command:`cpack_configure_downloads` command specifies that +`all` components are to be be downloaded. + +The :command:`cpack_ifw_add_repository` command and the +:variable:`CPACK_IFW_DOWNLOAD_ALL` variable allow for more specific +configuration. + +When there are online components, CPack will write them to archive files. +The help page of the :module:`CPackComponent` module, especially the section +on the :command:`cpack_configure_downloads` function, explains how to make +these files accessible from a download URL. + +Internationalization +"""""""""""""""""""" + +Some variables and command arguments support internationalization via +CMake script. This is an optional feature. + +Installers created by QtIFW tools have built-in support for +internationalization and many phrases are localized to many languages, +but this does not apply to the description of the your components and groups +that will be distributed. + +Localization of the description of your components and groups is useful for +users of your installers. + +A localized variable or argument can contain a single default value, and a +set of pairs the name of the locale and the localized value. + +For example: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + set(LOCALIZABLE_VARIABLE "Default value" + en "English value" + en_US "American value" + en_GB "Great Britain value" + ) + +See Also +^^^^^^^^ + +Qt Installer Framework Manual: + +* Index page: + http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/index.html + +* Component Scripting: + http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/scripting.html + +* Predefined Variables: + http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/scripting.html#predefined-variables + +* Promoting Updates: + http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/ifw-updates.html + +Download Qt Installer Framework for your platform from Qt site: + http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt-installer-framework |
