CMP0206

Added in version 4.3.

The CPack Archive Generator defaults to UID 0 and GID 0.

In CMake 4.2 and below, the CPack Archive Generator always used the current user's UID/GID in archive entries. CMake 4.3 added the CPACK_ARCHIVE_UID and CPACK_ARCHIVE_GID variables to control them. If either is set, the default for the other is 0. If neither is set, CMake 4.3 and above prefer to default both UID and GID to 0 so that unpacking by root produces paths owned by root. This policy provides compatibility with projects that have not been updated to expect the new behavior.

The OLD behavior for this policy is to produce archive entries with the current user's UID/GID by default. The NEW behavior for this policy is to produce archive entries with the UID/GID set to 0/0 by default.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 4.3. It may be set by cmake_policy() or cmake_minimum_required(). If it is not set, CMake does not warn, and uses OLD behavior.

See documentation of the CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0206 variable to control the warning.

Note

The OLD behavior of a policy is deprecated by definition and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
