Author: auria Hi,

do I understand correctly that this would require cpack to be installed separately? Since we are trying to limit dependencies I'm not sure I'm willing to add this requirement to install cpack

supertuxkart-sourceforge-migration commented 10 years ago

Author: winterheart No, cpack required only for developers. Users not required cpack, they not need to regenerate tarball. Also cpack is integrated part of cmake.

Author: winterheart Also, after some tuning for cpack section you can create debs, rpms, even NSIS-installers.

Author: auria hmm, on OSX at least it tells me the cpack module is not known :/

Author: hikerstk Hi,

thanks a lot for the patch. I have tested the existing 'make dist' implementation, and it works just fine.

Since we don't get any additional benefit from cpack (we already have NSIS installer, and debs/rpms are done by the various linux distributions anyway), and there are known problem at least on OSX, we won't be using cpack for now. If we ever should see a need to use cpack, we will certainly pick your patch!

Thanks a lot for your contribution nevertheless! Joerg
