For binary package you can set
CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
in your CMakeLists.txt.

I personnally do use:


SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
"${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}-${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}-${CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME}")

with customely modified CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME with this (used before the
previous line)
the "SystemSpecificInformations.cmake" is attached to this mail:

include(SystemSpecificInformations)

IF (SPECIFIC_COMPILER_NAME)
    SET(CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME
${SPECIFIC_SYSTEM_VERSION_NAME}-${SPECIFIC_COMPILER_NAME})
ELSE (SPECIFIC_COMPILER_NAME)
    SET(CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME ${SPECIFIC_SYSTEM_VERSION_NAME})
ENDIF(SPECIFIC_COMPILER_NAME)

For Source package you'll have to
SET(CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME ..

Now using that some problem still remain:
