Yes it is. At least many of us are using CPack. Mathieu did contribute DEB (Debian) package generator recently merged into CVS I did some work for an RPM package generator merged into CVS with the help of Alexander (Neundorf). You may checkout the CVS version of CMake and you'll see that CPack is indeed alive :)) May be CPack admin just lacks time...

For that I don't know, moreover I don't even know what is "XML for WiX". The things I know is that writing a CPack generator is not "that" hard if you accept to take some time to do it. Writing a new CPack generator is done by writing a new subclass of CMake/Source/CPack/cmCPackGenericGenerator.[h|cxx] If you do not like or is if you are not in the position which makes you recompile CMake easilly you may try to implement your "XML for WiX" as a set of CMake MACROs. I began to write a "faked" CPack generator using CMake macro: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMakeUserUseRPMTools and it works pretty well. -- Erk _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
