Summary0010935: Lack of support for relocatable package
DescriptionI would like to add an other missing feature:
 * Lack of support for relocatable package

To make a relocatable package, you have to add a tag "Prefix: " whose the value is generally the CMake prefix.


If I mimic the Buildarch tag, it would be something like that

# CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PREFIX (optional)
IF(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PREFIX)
  SET(TMP_RPM_PREFIX "Prefix: ${CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PREFIX}")
  IF(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG)
    MESSAGE("CPackRPM:Debug: using user-specified prefix (for relocatable package) = ${CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PREFIX}")
  ENDIF(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG)
ELSE(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PREFIX)
  SET(TMP_RPM_BUILDARCH "")
ENDIF(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PREFIX)


and adding \@TMP_RPM_PREFIX\@ after \@TMP_RPM_BUILDARCH\@ in the specfile template.

It's not tested but it's very similar to Buildarch tag.

For more specific information, see Maximum RPM (http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-reloc.html [^] [^] ).


Please, tell me if I must create a new issue but it's very similar to this one. Thanks.

The line to add is easy.
Prefix: \@CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX\@


However it may be added iff there is no absolute path file installed
or the packaging will break.

This has been pushed to next.

To git@cmake.org:cmake.git
   35ab6ee..c8c3211 next -> next

Note we are still depending on bug 7000 in order to support relocatable
package with file installed using absolute path
(provided those are %config... but this is another story)

    CPackRPM:: [partially] support relocatable package
    
    The support is partial because it cannot be used if
       CPACK_SET_DESTDIR is set
       some file are installed using absolute path
