[CMake] [CPack] RPM generator and directory symlink

[Domen Vrankar]

Hi,

I'm assuming that you used something like:

install(CODE "
    EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND ln -sf ${SOME_PATH}/subdir-version subdir
       WORKING_DIRECTORY ${LOCATION_WHERE_CPackRPM_IS_PACKAGING_YOUR_FILES}
       )
    " COMPONENT bin)

in your CMakeLists.txt

Currently CPackRPM doesn't automatically detect a symlink.

A workaround that you could use is to specify something like

set(CPACK_RPM_bin_USER_FILELIST "%config /subdir")

and this will force CPackRPM to treat the symlink as a config file.

Please file a bug report regarding CPackRPM treating symlinks to
directories as directories and not as symlinks.

Regards,
Domen
