[CMake] Creating RPMs from failing projects with CPack

[Attila Krasznahorkay]

Dear All,

I have a slightly unusual question (I guess). Is it possible somehow to force CPack to produce RPM files from projects that have build problems?

We use CMake in our nightly build system to test the latest changes in our software. When a build problem occurs we don't want the whole build to fail. To this end, we run the build with:

make -k
make -k install/fast

This second target executes the installation no matter what. (We set all our build results as "optional installations".) So that at least the "successful part" of the build would become visible on a shared filesystem.

Now, I'd like to do something similar with CPack. To make it behave like "install/fast" does. All in all, I'd like to tell it to use this "install/fast" target while creating the package instead of the "install" target. Is there any way of making this happen?

Cheers,
              Attila
