How do you build a Source RPM with CPack?
CPack RPM is not meant to build source RPM.

In fact CPack does not really knows about "Source" at all.

The baseline is CPack is not meant to build Source RPM, it can build
source "bare archive" like TGZ, ZIP and the like by "packaging" the source
directory but it cannot build source RPM nor DEB.

How do you do to build source RPM with CPack?
