[CMake] CPack 2.6.2: can't create temporary directory

[David Cole]

This is fixed now in CVS HEAD:
 /cvsroot/CMake/CMake/Source/CPack/cmCPackGenerator.cxx,v  <--
 Source/CPack/cmCPackGenerator.cxx
    new revision: 1.16; previous revision: 1.15

It will also be merged over to the CMake-2-6 branch and appear in CMake
2.6.3 when that is released...

Thanks for the report, Petri.

One recommendation for you: if you are doing packaging this way via a custom
target, use "${CMAKE_CPACK_COMMAND}" instead of cpack as the command you
execute. This will guarantee using the cpack associated with the cmake used
to configure regardless of PATH or any other environment issues. (That way,
when I do a "make pack" on your project, I get the correct cpack being used
rather than whichever one is available in my environment...)

Sorry for the hassle,
David Cole
