This is odd, by the way which version of CMake are you using? On my ubuntu 10.04 box with CMake 2.8.3, I get: A) cpack -G TGZ leads to a tar+gz archive whose content its owned by the user. (as printed out using 'tar ztvf file.tgz') B) fakeroot cpack -G TGZ leads to a tar+gz archive whose content its owned by root. (as printed out using 'tar ztvf file.tgz') An alternative solution would be to force ownership on extraction, GNU tar has the option: --no-same-owner extract files as yourself which should do the job (I suppose you can be root when extracting). Do you have any self contained example which exhibits the problem? -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
