Summary:                    CPack doesn't allow to create RPM with other
user/group than root/root
Description: 
In my local version I added a new CPack variable to be used like this in
CMakeLists.txt:

set(CPACK_RPM_FILES_DEFATTR "(0644,myuser,mygroup,0755)") 

if not set the default setting (-,root,root,-) will be applied (as before).

Suggested Patch for Modules/CPackRPM.cmake attached below
