Thanks, I have some more questions.
Some of the patch proposal will add dependencies on
debian specific tools (dpkg-xxx).
I know you wanted to make debian generator run even if
debian tools were not installed (i.e. building a deb on rpm based distros).
Alex seems to think that being independent of dpkg-xxx tools
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-November/025030.html
So what should we do?
1) Use dpk-XXX when they are found and then fallback to "autonomous
[may be less-powerfull] mode"
if they are not found?
2) Avoid ANY dependencies on dpk-XXX ?
I would vote for 1) because I found 2) too restrictive, however there
may be a 3rd option which
would be to create a new DEB2 CPack generator which requires dpkg-xxx tools?
