Hi all,<br><br>Thats a good news the nullsoft installer feature in CPack, really ;-)<br>I am looking forward to the next release ;-)<br><br>>No. CMake is not a package management system. I don't see any
reasonable way that it could do that cross-platform. Consider how many
package management systems are available on Linux alone!<br><br>About that, just an idea : <a href="http://www.pkgsrc.org">www.pkgsrc.org</a> : source package , or binary packages in a simple tgz... Maybe CPack could generate a binary package for pkgsrc ? that would be less work than taking care of all the different package management systems... and many platforms could be supported... maybe not good to have such a strong dependency, but maybe worth asking the mailing list about it sometime ;-)

<br>It will work much like CMake, in that it will have generators for various native packaging tools.<br>It will be a beta release in CMake 2.4. Currently, it can create nullsoft windows installers,<br>tar.gz files, and self extracting
