[CMake] How to on multiple RPM packages

Hm I've accidentally dropped cmake mailing list when replying
before... Sorry about that.

Component name changing patch was already applied in git and will be
available in next CMake release.
Until then you could patch your CPackRPM.cmake file (comes with CMake
installation) with this patch:

https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commit;h=c926efa

It's possible that you are using an older version of CPack that
doesn't support this per component feature. This was introduced in
CPack version 3.2. Before only non component versions of description
of summary were supported.

Fix is the same patch as for name.


> d) Can I get rid of the "-bin" in the RPM file name?
Not at the moment... There are pending bug reports for this. You could
however use above patch to change package name and rename the file
name manually after generation.
