While reading about best practices concerning CMake I've come across an article talking about package information. Since I'm deep down in the source code I realised that it was not there. I'm suggesting that maybe we could add this missing part in the project.

I believe that this is of limited use for CppMicroServices. C++ libraries and their development files are typically built manually by their users (configure && make or vcpkg) or uploaded to a central OS specific packaging system (rpm or deb packages). For the latter, we would need a mentor anyway.

Do you have a need for something else, like a zip or tgz package of the binary artifacts?

Well this was for my quest to understand C++ and CMake. Personally I don't need anything specific, I just tought that this was a relevant point but if it is not necessary I believe your opinion has more weight and I would trust it.
