Summary0009900: Make CPack generic generator delegate the name of the file to specific generator
DescriptionCurrently CPack generic impose to the specific generator
the name of the generated file.

This is double problem because:
   1) The specific generator may be the one to know the exact name he wants
   2) The specific generator may generate several files in the
      case of CPack component support
      cf http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7645 [^]

I propose change the CPack generic Generator API in order to make it possible
to for CPack generic generator to get back the name(s) chosen by the generic
generator AFTER the specific compressFile call.

I'll propose a patch some day.

 Maybe we can generate a tar that include all component RPMs.
What can I help this issue?

 I'm not sure to understand your proposal but
bundling all components in a single tar that
would get put in a single RPM wouldn't seem like
a component to me?

Again may be I'm wrong, what do you propose to do?

 Sorry for my bad English.

My propose is we can generate some RPMs that bundle a single component, then we pack all RPMs to a single tar. it's a work-around solution.

 The problem of naming the package filename produced by CPack
is poppin-up again and again on the ML:

The name of the package file is currently driven by the value of
CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME (this the name of the file without the extension).

If the user does not set this variable CPack.cmake is setting it to be
${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}-${CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME}

The user may override this name inside its CMakeLists.txt.

Whatever the solution, specific generator (RPM, DEB, TGZ etc...)
may not currently change the name. This is the root of the issue
because sometimes the name convention may be different depending
on the package type (e.g. .deb and .rpm have different naming convention).

This makes it possible to let the specific generator decide the number
and the name of the generated packages.
