Hi,

I tried to create a simple RPM package on AIX with CPack, but my attempt
resulted in an empty RPM file since the file list population failed. In the
process I got a couple of error messages from `find' and `sed' which turned
out to be pretty easy to fix to work both on Linux and AIX, which doesn't
have GNU findutils etc. So, here's the patch:

--- CPackRPM.cmake.orig    2011-05-11 14:13:05.000000000 +0800
+++ CPackRPM.cmake    2011-05-11 14:13:17.000000000 +0800
@@ -470,9 +470,9 @@

-                COMMAND sed {s:.*/man.*/.*:&*:}
-                COMMAND sed {s/\\.\\\(.*\\\)/\"\\1\"/}
+EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND find . -type f -o -type l
+                COMMAND sed s:.*/man.*/.*:&*:
+                COMMAND sed s/\\.\\\(.*\\\)/\"\\1\"/
                 WORKING_DIRECTORY "${WDIR}"
                 OUTPUT_VARIABLE CPACK_RPM_INSTALL_FILES)

After applying the above patch, I was able to create a simple RPM package on
both AIX and Linux.

Cheers,
Pasi
