[CMake] CPack: Adding a file to package_source target

[Adolfo Rodríguez]

After messing around with the issue, I have -almost- succeeded in
accomplishing what I wanted. Right now, I'm installing the top-level
CMakeLists.txt file by setting:

set(CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS "${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/CMakeLists.txt
{CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_CPack_Packages/Linux-Source/TGZ/${CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}")

Now two issues remain to be solved:
- I want the above command to be called only when building source packages,
so is there a flag that I can use to wrap it in a if() clause? (something
like CPACK_BUILD_SOURCE_PACKAGE or similar)

- There is one part of the destination path that is currently hardcoded,
namely "_CPack_Packages/Linux-Source/TGZ". Are there any CPack variables
that contain this information?, especially the
"_CPack_Packages/Linux-Source" part. I printed the values of all cmake
variables and grepping for these strings and found nothing (except for my
hardcoded lines :-P ).

In case this is relevant, I'm using cmake 2.6.0, and these are the
CPACK-related variables that I set before calling include(CPack):

set(CPACK_GENERATOR "TGZ")
set(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR "TGZ")

set(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY  "${PROJECT_NAME} project")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME            "${PROJECT_NAME}-${brief_VERSION}")
set(CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
"${PROJECT_NAME}-source-${brief_VERSION}")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY    "${PROJECT_NAME}-${brief_VERSION}")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY "${PROJECT_NAME}-${brief_VERSION}")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME                 "${PROJECT_NAME}")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR               "XXXX")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION              "${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION}")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR        "${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_MAJOR}")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR        "${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_MINOR}")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH        "${${PROJECT_NAME}_VERSION_PATCH}")

# General setup
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_RELOCATABLE "true")
set(CPACK_SOURCE_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES
"${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src;./src;${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/etc;./etc;")
set(CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES
"/CVS/;/\\\\.svn/;\\\\.swp$;~$;\\\\.\\\\#;/\\\\#")
set(CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS "${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/CMakeLists.txt
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_CPack_Packages/Linux-Source/TGZ/${CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}")
