Ok, in CPack you can specify what files you want to copy. It is a bit of a hard process and since most of our CVS repositories are fairly clean I never thought of that. That said, I can see somebody doing an in-source build and then try to make a source TAR. I will document how to specify exact files to be copied.

I have to agree with Enrico. RPM packages also work in this manner. -- Philip Lowman Simulation Development Engineer, Modeling and Simulation Technology General Dynamics Land Systems http://www.gdls.com _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
