I’m working on a project which generates quite a few executables, libraries
and configs, they need to be packed into different packages for deployment.
The problem is, the inclusion of those targets/files is not mutual
exclusive. One target/file can belong to multiple packages.

I’m using CMake 2.8.9 and trying CPack. I know it’s kind of doable with
install types. But my platform is Ubuntu, so on Archives/Debs are
acceptable and they don’t seem to support that.

With components/groups/parent groups it seems only possible to pack one
target/file into one component/group.

Is there any way out of this?

Thanks

    Well, I’ll answer it myself for convinience of late comers: from CMake mail list, I got the answer: with cmake 2.8.9 or earlier (so far), run CPack multiple times with different component settings. That’s a bit adhoc but does the job.
