Hi, I use CPack in my project to build binary packages as an alternative to `make install`. However, I am interested in getting my project to automatically detect which packages to build.
Currently I have TGZ set and then require the user to pass the appropriate parameter to `cmake` (such as -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=on) to have deb/rpm packages made. I wish to know how I can have CMake/CPack determine if it is possible to build an RPM or DEB package on the system (so if all the required utilities are installed) and if so to go ahead and package them. This would simplify things for people who checkout the project as they just need to type `make package` and can be sure of the appropriate package being built. However I am unsure how to reliably go about the detection process. (Asking CMake to produce an RPM package on my Debian Squeeze system only fails when one tries to make the package -- after `cmake` has run.)
