[cmake-developers] CPack generators for IPS (Solaris 11), depot (HPUX), etc.

[Magnus Johansson]

I am wondering if anyone has experimented with generators for:

IPS, Image Packaging System (Solaris >= 11)
PKG (Solaris <= 10)
Depot (HPUX)
RPM (for AIX)

As far as I can see there is no support for these. I thought RPM for AIX 
would be easy, but my first try failed since the rpmbuild command did 
not exist on my AIX machines. I will investigate this further, but I am 
curious if anyone has successfully built RPMs for AIX.

I would also like to know what kind of effort is involved in writing a 
new generator. I had a brief look at the source code for the RPM 
generator, and it seemed fairly straight forward, but I would like some 
input from someone who has actually written a generator.
