If you *know* that you *always*

- have a POSIX shell
- use a Makefile generator
- have scp installed on host and target machine

then things are fine, otherwise this will fail. If you used

find_program(SCP_EXECUTABLE scp)
if(SCP_EXECUTABLE)
add_custom_target(delivery
  COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E remove -f ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}*.tar.gz
  COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}
                           --target package
                           --config Release
  COMMAND ${SCP_EXECUTABLE} ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}*.tar.gz
                            ds:/srv/repos/bin)
else()
  message(SEND_ERROR "Require scp for the delivery target")
endif()

you at least wouldn't require a POSIX shell, don't have to care about
the build system and check that you actually have scp.
