Or do include "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/*" in "CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES"

Note that there is a special case where excluding CMAKE_BINARY_DIR is annoying,
this is when you do in-source build, i.e.
if CMAKE_BINARY_DIR == CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR.

What I usually do is:

IF ("${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" STREQUAL "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}")
   SET(CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES <usual list>)
ELSE("${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" STREQUAL "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}")
     SET(CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES "<usuallist>;${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/*")
ENDIF ("${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" STREQUAL "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}")
