Summary0013009: CPack DEB generator ignores top-level directories which do not contain a file
DescriptionWhen generating a list of top-level dirs to pass arguments to tar, CPack gets the list of top-level dirs to install from the list of files to install.

This process overlooks empty top-level dirs and, generally, top-level dirs which do not contain files (though may contain empty subdirs).

See http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/CPack/cmCPackDebGenerator.cxx;h=b707e96aa46779ca1e8ede78e02c1e2d47f94087;hb=HEAD#l405 [^]
lines 405 to 427.
Steps To ReproduceUse the sample CMakeLists.txt:
PROJECT(WTF)
INCLUDE(CPack)

install(DIRECTORY DESTINATION /wtf)
install(DIRECTORY DESTINATION /foo)
install(DIRECTORY DESTINATION /bar)

Issue the following command:
mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake .. -DCPACK_GENERATOR="DEB" -DCPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_MAINTAINER=" " ; make ; cpack --verbose --debug

This will generate a package file WTF-0.1.1-Linux.deb. Let's see what's in there:
dpkg -c WTF-0.1.1-Linux.deb
Oooops: Nothing's in it (should be 3 empty dirs).

The debug output from cpack is attached.
Additional InformationI'm not sure if this bug is related to http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8767 [^] , but they are definitely not the same.
TagsNo tags attached.

 Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
