As a workaround you could set files that you would like to be excluded from symlink relocation with CPACK_RPM_USER_FILELIST or CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_USER_FILELIST.
I'll have a look at how this could be solved for later versions of CPack. Do I understand correctly that those errors occur when a symlink is pointing to another simlink outside your project? Could you please provide a minimal example of all your cases? Thanks, Domen 2016-03-23 14:13 GMT+01:00 Attila Krasznahorkay <attila.krasznahor...@gmail.com>: > Hi Brad, > > I did.
