MacroDBusAddActivationService

[David Faure]

kde-runtime has cmake/modules/MacroDBusAddActivationService.cmake
which says

macro(dbus_add_activation_service _sources)
    foreach (_i ${_sources})
        get_filename_component(_service_file ${_i} ABSOLUTE)
        string(REGEX REPLACE "\\.service.*$" ".service" _output_file ${_i})
        set(_target ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${_output_file})
        configure_file(${_service_file} ${_target})
        install(FILES ${_target} DESTINATION ${DBUS_SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR} )
    endforeach (_i ${ARGN})
endmacro(dbus_add_activation_service _sources) 

Typical usage: see kde-runtime/kuiserver:

dbus_add_activation_service(org.kde.kuiserver.service.in)

where that file contains
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.kde.kuiserver
Exec=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/bin/kuiserver

I would now need this in kdelibs (frameworks branch), in order to generate
org.kde.kded5.service and install it, to allow launching kded5 via dbus auto-
activation.

Can this macro go into ECM? Or even cmake?

It's basically useful for anyone making a dbus service with cmake -- not even 
necessarily using Qt.
