fix(cmake): don't pass REQUIRED to find_dependency in package config - #1
Merged

Conversation
find_dependency() forwards the REQUIRED/QUIET-ness requested by the caller of find_package(); hard-coding REQUIRED defeats that. A consumer doing find_package(NekoFunction CONFIG QUIET) got a fatal error instead of a graceful -NOTFOUND when a transitive dependency was absent. Reported by a vcpkg maintainer in microsoft/vcpkg#53099.

Summary
Upstream fix for feedback a vcpkg maintainer gave while reviewing microsoft/vcpkg#53099:
NekoFunctionConfig.cmake.inhard-codedREQUIREDon all three of its dependencies, sofind_package(NekoFunction CONFIG QUIET)raised a fatal error when one was absent instead of returning a graceful-NOTFOUND, which is what aQUIETcaller expects.Change
Dropped
REQUIREDfrom all three calls:find_dependency(NekoSchema)find_dependency(OpenSSL)— still gated onNEKO_FUNCTION_HAS_HASHfind_dependency(minizip-ng)— still gated onNEKO_FUNCTION_HAS_ARCHIVEThe feature gating is unchanged: the optional dependencies are only looked up when the corresponding feature was enabled at configure time, which is the correct way to express an optional dependency —
QUIETwas never doing that job.Verification
Built and installed into a local prefix (
NEKO_FUNCTION_ENABLE_HASH=ON,ENABLE_ARCHIVE=OFF), confirmed the generated config gates correctly, then configured a consumer project against the installed package:find_package(NekoFunction CONFIG QUIET)NekoFunction_FOUND=0(was: fatal error)find_package(NekoFunction CONFIG REQUIRED)find_package(NekoFunction CONFIG REQUIRED)FOUND=1,VERSION=1.0.11Version metadata is already consistent here —
project(NekoFunction VERSION 1.0.11)matches the packaged1.0.11.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
