[CMake] DEB and RPM Generation?

[David Cristian]

Thanks for your quick response!

I'll have all this things in consideration, specially wrong dependencies
and libs version.
I'll plan to test packages on vbox for others distros, my project isn't big
or complex (just a few dependencies), and I'll guess binary libs
compatibility isn't and issue between minor versions.

I'm using components and works ok with nsis as single package, but with
debian merge all components in one package, i read the links you mention
about Component Installation, the official documentation say CMAKE support
package per component creation everything excepts DEB, but
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11655 says otherwise, i have the
last version installed.

But again thanks a lot. If isn't ready ill just have to wait, no problem.
