I'm not sure to understand the commit message, does qtbase look for ECM ?

Add since tag.

Not as such at this point, but the CMake port of Qt (see wip/cmake branch in qtbase) for Qt6 currently copies CMake files from multiple KDE repositories, or duplicates existing modules. I'm trying to unify that to just ECM as the canonical source, which should simplify collaboration with the Qt team.

I just realized there is a much older version of this in attic/modules already, should that be removed as part of adding this?

If you use IMPORTED_TARGET you can skip most stuff below. i.e.
pkg_check_modules(Flatpak IMPORTED_TARGET flatpak>=0.11.8)

In fact, I'd argue it's just easier to have pkg_check_modules called upstream rather than having an intermediary in ECM or so.
It's what I did in Discover at least:
https://phabricator.kde.org/source/discover/browse/master/CMakeLists.txt$36

Does that mean we can rely on pkgconfig? So far I got the impression we have to treat that as optional in ECM code?

Maybe you are right, I don't know what problems pkgconfig my incur in that can't be fixed upstream.

Could the indentation perhaps be turned to be 4 spaces while copying it here? While https://community.kde.org/Policies/CMake_Coding_Style#Indentation allows the choice of 2,3, or 4 spaces, using 4 is more in line with the indentation used in C++ sources, so IMHO more expected to read.

Please also add a docs/find-module/FindFontconfig.rst with a line linking this file:

.. ecm-module:: ../../find-modules/FindFontconfig.cmake

so the documentation generation will cover also this new module.

When it comes to pkgconfig no idea myself, but please update https://community.kde.org/Policies/CMake_Coding_Style#.28Not.29_Using_pkg-config if you find those rules do no longer apply.

Update indentation, add docs link, remove ancient copy from attic.

QUIET here as well

ECM requires CMake 2.8.12. 'IMPORTED_TARGET' is not available in this version.

Search for pkgconfig quietly.

Confirmed on a clean rebuild here too. So this needs backward compat variables too.

What I don't understand though is which FindFontconfig this used to find, there is non in plasma-desktop...

D19499 fixes that here

kdelibs4support provides one.

... which is installed into a non-standard location that is added to the module search path automatically when doing find_package(KDELibs4Support) it seems. Nasty.
