According to Fedora documentation the "Release:" variable in RPM files should
be set to 1%{?dist}.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:DistTag
This means it should be set to a string which looks like "1.el7.centos" on my
CentOS7 machine. CPack sets this to "1" by default, but can be changed with the
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE variable. I propose a change as follows:
https://github.com/hm1992/CMake/commit/94c611d5710a51072e15855ed96a225def975c38
* Adds CPACK_RPM_DIST which defaults to the output of "rpmbuild -E %{dist}
2>/dev/null".
* Makes CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE default to "1${CPACK_RPM_DIST}"
I think I am right in saying this would not change behaviour on distributions
that did not use the %{dist} option as "rpmbuild -E %{dist}" should return
nothing.
