Add a custom target "myinstall" that does a "make install" under the covers.
Similarly for make package.

Then have those custom targets depend on the build-products-done target.

Then..... instead of typing "make" or the explicit "make all" (or make
install, or make package) on the command line, you'd type "make myinstall"
or "make mypackage".

You're understanding correctly as far as I can tell, but you don't need the
build-products-done to depend on installation and packaging. Those happen
post-build. So you need to depend on the build-products-done, not the other
way around.

If you need to run something after installation and packaging, and it has to
be done from make, then the only way to do it right now with existing cmake
is to have custom targets that act the same, but have different names than,
'install' and 'package'...

Capisce?
