In fact I know that, but this does not really correspond to my need.
I should have expressed myself more clearly.

I want the name of the tarball to be generated
at "make" time
and not
at "CMake" time

that is two consecutive launches of

make package_source

would generate two tarballs with DIFFERENT names.

but you are right I may try to ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET

package_backup

which forces CMake relaunch in order to modify

CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME.
