Summary0010363: CPack: specify compression type for rpm package
DescriptionE.g. SUSE 11 by default generates lzma-compressed rpm's, which can't be installed e.g. on SUSE 10, since this doesn't know lzma.
To specify the compression type of an rpm, at least under SUSE, the following has to be put in the spec file:

For bzip2:
%define _binary_payload w9.bzdio

for gzip:
%define _binary_payload w9.gzdio

for lzma:
%define _binary_payload w9.lzdio

I've set this using the CPACK_RPM_SPEC_MORE_DEFINE variable.
Maybe this could be supported via something like a CPACK_RPM_COMPRESSION_TYPE
variable ?

OpenSUSE is going for lzma
http://opsamericas.com/?p=894 [^]

and Fedora for xz
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XZRpmPayloads#XZ_.28LZMA.29_Payloads_in_RPM [^]

this looks like the same LZMA algo but leads to

for lzma:
%define _binary_payload w9.lzdio

and
for xz:
%define _binary_payload w7.xzdio

noted here as a memo.

CPACK_RPM_COMPRESSION_TYPE
            Mandatory : NO
            Default : -
            May be used to override RPM compression type to be used
            to build the RPM. For example some Linux distribution now default
            to lzma or xz compression whereas older cannot use such RPM.
            Using this one can enforce compression type to be used.
            Possible value are: lzma, xz, bzip2 and gzip.

A new option to CPackRPM handle this:
         CPACK_RPM_COMPRESSION_TYPE
            Mandatory : NO
            Default : -
            May be used to override RPM compression type to be used
            to build the RPM. For example some Linux distribution now default
            to lzma or xz compression whereas older cannot use such RPM.
            Using this one can enforce compression type to be used.
            Possible value are: lzma, xz, bzip2 and gzip.
