[cmake-developers] CpackRPM doesn't escape filenames

[Harry Mallon]

Hi Brad,

A simple version, which covers the main test case is shown here. The %files list in the auto spec file shows "%dist.txt" when I think it should show "%%dist.txt". Even when I manually changed it to %% it didn't work for me though. Maybe someone who knows RPM better would be able to tell me why. Other cases could also be tested by adding more files (for those who have any of ?|*.\'" in their file names).

----------------------

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

set(CPACK_GENERATOR "RPM")

project(Test)
file(WRITE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/%dist.txt" "")

install(FILES
    "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/%dist.txt"
    DESTINATION foo
)

include(CPack)
