I seems even more complicated, according to the wikie there is:
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY * Package short description
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION
* Package long description
But the DEBIAN backend uses CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY for the
long description.
I was going to take a look at it but now I'm afraid there is no
consistent way to handle this without braking backwards compatibility.
What I was aiming for was:
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY * Package short description
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION
* Package long description
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE
* file containing the package long description
if PACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION was not set but
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE was then do:
file(READ ${CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE} CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION)
But as I said, that would break backward compatibility (change in
behavior).
