Creating distribution packages with CMake

CMake can automatically create packages for several distributions (e.g. Redhat/Fedora .rpm, Debian/Ubuntu .deb, etc), though the created packages will lack dependency information. To create these packages, add at the end of CMakeLists.txt: 

   1 SET(CPACK_GENERATOR "DEB")
   2 SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME})
   3 SET(CPACK_SET_DESTDIR TRUE)
   4 SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_MAINTAINER "me")
   5 SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR "0")
   6 SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR "0")
   7 SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH "1~alpha1")
   8 include(CPack)

Modify the variables to create an package with the appropriate name and metadata fields. After building the package, run: 

   1 make package
