Summary0013045: Archive library is not stripped with CPACK_STRIP_FILES set to ON.
DescriptionSET (CPACK_STRIP_FILES ON) should strip archive as well as shared libraries. It is not working for archive libraries. The workaround is to manually strip the files after installing the package with CPack.

make install/strip does not do this either, (and SET (CPACK_STRIP_FILES ON)
is just handling this by calling "install/strip" instead of "install".

This is not done because it does not seem to be a reasonable request,
see: http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2012-March/049739.html [^]

can you give a useful example where stripping archive is needed?

Sorry, please close this issue. Had I actually tried to link with the stripped library I would have found the symbols are missing. Duh!
