    Use function instead of macro: this prevents variables leaking accidentally. That will also allow removing the leading underscores on the variable names.



kde-modules/KDETemplateMacro.cmake (line 2)
<https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126185/#comment61043>

    You might want to consider using keyword arguments (ie: cmake_parse_arguments). This makes the function more extensible in the future.



kde-modules/KDETemplateMacro.cmake (lines 32 - 42)
<https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126185/#comment61044>

    Have a look at CMake's tar mode - run `cmake -E` and look at the tar command. This will mean the command won't depend on external utilities like 7-zip.



kde-modules/KDETemplateMacro.cmake (line 45)
<https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126185/#comment61045>

    To make this slightly more general, consider passing in the install destination as an argument, or at least allowing that as a possibility. The actual directory could (should?) be put into KDEInstallDirs.cmake as an extra variable.
