[cmake-developers] CPack Packaging and BundleUtilities/GetPrerequisites

[David Cole]

Did you ever investigate using CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE to avoid
doing the silly regex MATCHES test, and just define your own variable
that (for now) tells you for sure that you're in a CPack run...?

I think we discussed that one about a month ago, IIRC.


Thanks,
David
