Hi, I'm working on a project that uses CMake for build configuration and CPack for packaging. We're running on Linux and seem to run into some issues with CPack when INSTALL commands have absolute paths.
When we use Makefiles as the build tool, have absolute paths in the DESTINATION of the INSTALL command and we are building RPM or DEB packages, the make package commands seems to install these files to those absolute paths on the system we are doing the packaging on. This makes it so that we need to use root to build packages and I'd like to avoid this. Is this a bug with how CPack handles RPM and DEB packaging or am I doing something wrong? I've managed to somewhat bypass this by doing a lot of the absolute path installations in the post-install script but in the long run I would like to avoud this.
