Note however that ``<COMPONENT>`` refers to the +**grouping name** written in upper case. It may be either a component name or +a component GROUP name. Usually those variables correspond to RPM spec file +entities. One may find information about spec files here +http://www.rpm.org/wiki/Docs + +.. note:: + + `<COMPONENT>` part of variables is preferred to be in upper case (for e.g. if + component is named `foo` then use `CPACK_RPM_FOO_XXXX` variable name format) + as is with other `CPACK_<COMPONENT>_XXXX` variables. + For the purposes of back compatibility (CMake/CPack version 3.5 and lower) + support for same cased component (e.g. `fOo` would be used as + `CPACK_RPM_fOo_XXXX`) is still supported for variables defined in older + versions of CMake/CPack but is not guaranteed for variables that + will be added in the future. For the sake of back compatibility same cased + component variables also override upper cased versions where both are + present. + +Here are some CPack RPM generator wiki resources that are here for historic reasons and +are no longer maintained but may still prove useful: + + - https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cpack/Configuration + - https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cpack/PackageGenerators#rpm-unix-only + +List of CPack RPM generator specific variables: + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_COMPONENT_INSTALL + + Enable component packaging for CPack RPM generator + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : OFF + + If enabled (ON) multiple packages are generated.

If + :variable:`CPACK_SET_DESTDIR` is set then you will get a warning message but + if there is file installed with absolute path you'll get unexpected behavior. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_SPEC_INSTALL_POST + + Deprecated - use :variable:`CPACK_RPM_SPEC_MORE_DEFINE` instead. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + * Deprecated: YES + + May be used to override the ``__spec_install_post`` section within the + generated spec file. This affects the install step during package creation, + not during package installation. For adding operations to be performed + during package installation, use + :variable:`CPACK_RPM_POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE` instead. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_SPEC_MORE_DEFINE + + RPM extended spec definitions lines. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + + May be used to add any ``%define`` lines to the generated spec file.

Like ``%config(noreplace)`` or any other directive + that be found in the ``%files`` section. You can have multiple directives + per line, as in ``%attr(600,root,root) %config(noreplace)``. Since + the CPack RPM generator is generating the list of files (and directories) the + user specified files of the ``CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_USER_FILELIST`` list will + be removed from the generated list. If referring to directories do + not add a trailing slash. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_CHANGELOG_FILE + + RPM changelog file. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + + May be used to embed a changelog in the spec file. + The referred file will be read and directly put after the ``%changelog`` + section. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST + + list of path to be excluded. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : /etc /etc/init.d /usr /usr/bin /usr/include /usr/lib + /usr/libx32 /usr/lib64 /usr/share /usr/share/aclocal + /usr/share/doc + + May be used to exclude path (directories or files) from the auto-generated + list of paths discovered by CPack RPM. The default value contains a + reasonable set of values if the variable is not defined by the user. If the + variable is defined by the user then the CPack RPM generator will NOT any of + the default path. If you want to add some path to the default list then you + can use :variable:`CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST_ADDITION` variable. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST_ADDITION + + additional list of path to be excluded. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + + May be used to add more exclude path (directories or files) from the initial + default list of excluded paths. See + :variable:`CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST`. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_RELOCATION_PATHS + + Packages relocation paths list. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + + May be used to specify more than one relocation path per relocatable RPM. + Variable contains a list of relocation paths that if relative are prefixed + by the value of :variable:`CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PREFIX` or by the + value of :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX` if the component version + is not provided. + Variable is not component based as its content can be used to set a different + path prefix for e.g. binary dir and documentation dir at the same time. + Only prefixes that are required by a certain component are added to that + component - component must contain at least one file/directory/symbolic link + with :variable:`CPACK_RPM_RELOCATION_PATHS` prefix for a certain relocation + path to be added. Package will not contain any relocation paths if there are + no files/directories/symbolic links on any of the provided prefix locations. + Packages that either do not contain any relocation paths or contain + files/directories/symbolic links that are outside relocation paths print + out an ``AUTHOR_WARNING`` that RPM will be partially relocatable. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PREFIX + + Per component relocation path install prefix. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX + + May be used to set per component :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX` + for relocatable RPM packages. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX_RELOCATION + CPACK_RPM_NO_<COMPONENT>_INSTALL_PREFIX_RELOCATION + + Removal of default install prefix from relocation paths list. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX or CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PREFIX + are treated as one of relocation paths + + May be used to remove CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX and CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PREFIX + from relocatable RPM prefix paths. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_ADDITIONAL_MAN_DIRS + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + + May be used to set additional man dirs that could potentially be compressed + by brp-compress RPM macro. Variable content must be a list of regular + expressions that point to directories containing man files or to man files + directly. Note that in order to compress man pages a path must also be + present in brp-compress RPM script and that brp-compress script must be + added to RPM configuration by the operating system. + + Regular expressions that are added by default were taken from brp-compress + RPM macro: + + - /usr/man/man.* + - /usr/man/.*/man.* + - /usr/info.* + - /usr/share/man/man.* + - /usr/share/man/.*/man.* + - /usr/share/info.* + - /usr/kerberos/man.* + - /usr/X11R6/man/man.* + - /usr/lib/perl5/man/man.* + - /usr/share/doc/.*/man/man.* + - /usr/lib/.*/man/man.* + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_USER + CPACK_RPM_<compName>_DEFAULT_USER + + default user ownership of RPM content + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : root + + Value should be user name and not UID. + Note that <compName> must be in upper-case. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_GROUP + CPACK_RPM_<compName>_DEFAULT_GROUP + + default group ownership of RPM content + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : root + + Value should be group name and not GID. + Note that <compName> must be in upper-case. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS + CPACK_RPM_<compName>_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS + + default permissions used for packaged files + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - (system default) + + Accepted values are lists with ``PERMISSIONS``.

This can be used for creating valid rpm packages on systems such + as Debian where shared libraries do not have execute permissions set. + +.. note:: + + Programs and shared libraries without execute permissions are ignored during + separation of debug symbols from the binary for debuginfo packages. + +Packaging of Symbolic Links +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The CPack RPM generator supports packaging of symbolic links:: + + execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} + -E create_symlink <relative_path_location> <symlink_name>) + install(FILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<symlink_name> + DESTINATION <symlink_location> COMPONENT libraries) + +Symbolic links will be optimized (paths will be shortened if possible) +before being added to the package or if multiple relocation paths are +detected, a post install symlink relocation script will be generated. + +Symbolic links may point to locations that are not packaged by the same +package (either a different component or even not packaged at all) but +those locations will be treated as if they were a part of the package +while determining if symlink should be either created or present in a +post install script - depending on relocation paths. + +Symbolic links that point to locations outside packaging path produce a +warning and are treated as non relocatable permanent symbolic links. + +Currently there are a few limitations though: + +* For component based packaging component interdependency is not checked + when processing symbolic links. Symbolic links pointing to content of + a different component are treated the same way as if pointing to location + that will not be packaged. + +* Symbolic links pointing to a location through one or more intermediate + symbolic links will not be handled differently - if the intermediate + symbolic link(s) is also on a relocatable path, relocating it during + package installation may cause initial symbolic link to point to an + invalid location. + +Packaging of debug information +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Debuginfo packages contain debug symbols and sources for debugging packaged +binaries. + +Debuginfo RPM packaging has it's own set of variables: + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE + CPACK_RPM_<component>_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE + + Enable generation of debuginfo RPM package(s). + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : OFF + +.. note:: + + Binaries must contain debug symbols before packaging so use either ``Debug`` + or ``RelWithDebInfo`` for :variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` variable value. + +.. note:: + + Packages generated from packages without binary files, with binary files but + without execute permissions or without debug symbols will cause packaging + termination. + +.. variable:: CPACK_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS + + Provides locations of root directories of source files from which binaries + were built. + + * Mandatory : YES if :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE` is set + * Default : - + +.. note:: + + For CMake project :variable:`CPACK_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS` is set by default to + point to :variable:`CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR` and :variable:`CMAKE_BINARY_DIR` paths. + +.. note:: + + Sources with path prefixes that do not fall under any location provided with + :variable:`CPACK_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS` will not be present in debuginfo package. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS_PREFIX + CPACK_RPM_<component>_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS_PREFIX + + Prefix of location where sources will be placed during package installation. + + * Mandatory : YES if :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE` is set + * Default : "/usr/src/debug/<CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME>" and + for component packaging "/usr/src/debug/<CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME>-<component>" + +.. note:: + + Each source path prefix is additionally suffixed by ``src_<index>`` where + index is index of the path used from :variable:`CPACK_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS` + variable. This produces ``<CPACK_RPM_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS_PREFIX>/src_<index>`` + replacement path. + Limitation is that replaced path part must be shorter or of equal + length than the length of its replacement. If that is not the case either + :variable:`CPACK_RPM_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS_PREFIX` variable has to be set to + a shorter path or source directories must be placed on a longer path. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_EXCLUDE_DIRS + + Directories containing sources that should be excluded from debuginfo packages. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : "/usr /usr/src /usr/src/debug" + + Listed paths are owned by other RPM packages and should therefore not be + deleted on debuginfo package uninstallation. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_EXCLUDE_DIRS_ADDITION + + Paths that should be appended to :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_EXCLUDE_DIRS` + for exclusion. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_SINGLE_PACKAGE + + Create a single debuginfo package even if components packaging is set. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : OFF + + When this variable is enabled it produces a single debuginfo package even if + component packaging is enabled. + + When using this feature in combination with components packaging and there is + more than one component this variable requires :variable:`CPACK_RPM_MAIN_COMPONENT` + to be set. + +.. note:: + + If none of the :variable:`CPACK_RPM_<component>_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE` variables + is set then :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE` is automatically set to + ``ON`` when :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_SINGLE_PACKAGE` is set. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_FILE_NAME + CPACK_RPM_<component>_DEBUGINFO_FILE_NAME + + Debuginfo package file name. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : rpmbuild tool generated package file name + + Alternatively provided debuginfo package file name must end with ``.rpm`` + suffix and should differ from file names of other generated packages. + + Variable may contain ``@cpack_component@`` placeholder which will be + replaced by component name if component packaging is enabled otherwise it + deletes the placeholder. + + Setting the variable to ``RPM-DEFAULT`` may be used to explicitly set + filename generation to default. + +.. note:: + + :variable:`CPACK_RPM_FILE_NAME` also supports rpmbuild tool generated package + file name - disabled by default but can be enabled by setting the variable to + ``RPM-DEFAULT``. + +Packaging of sources (SRPM) +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +SRPM packaging is enabled by setting :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_SOURCES` +variable while usually using :variable:`CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES` variable +to provide directory containing CMakeLists.txt and source files. + +For CMake projects SRPM package would be produced by executing:: + + cpack -G RPM --config ./CPackSourceConfig.cmake + +.. note:: + + Produced SRPM package is expected to be built with :manual:`cmake(1)` executable + and packaged with :manual:`cpack(1)` executable so CMakeLists.txt has to be + located in root source directory and must be able to generate binary rpm + packages by executing ``cpack -G`` command. The two executables as well as + rpmbuild must also be present when generating binary rpm packages from the + produced SRPM package. + +Once the SRPM package is generated it can be used to generate binary packages +by creating a directory structure for rpm generation and executing rpmbuild +tool:: + + mkdir -p build_dir/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} + rpmbuild --define "_topdir <path_to_build_dir>" --rebuild <SRPM_file_name> + +Generated packages will be located in build_dir/RPMS directory or its sub +directories. + +.. note:: + + SRPM package internally uses CPack/RPM generator to generate binary packages + so CMakeScripts.txt can decide during the SRPM to binary rpm generation step + what content the package(s) should have as well as how they should be packaged + (monolithic or components). CMake can decide this for e.g. by reading environment + variables set by the package manager before starting the process of generating + binary rpm packages. This way a single SRPM package can be used to produce + different binary rpm packages on different platforms depending on the platform's + packaging rules. + +Source RPM packaging has it's own set of variables: + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_SOURCES + + Should the content be packaged as a source rpm (default is binary rpm). + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : OFF + +.. note:: + + For cmake projects :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_SOURCES` variable is set + to ``OFF`` in CPackConfig.cmake and ``ON`` in CPackSourceConfig.cmake + generated files. + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_SOURCE_PKG_BUILD_PARAMS + + Additional command-line parameters provided to :manual:`cmake(1)` executable. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + +.. variable:: CPACK_RPM_SOURCE_PKG_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX + + Packaging install prefix that would be provided in :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX` + variable for producing binary RPM packages. + + * Mandatory : YES + * Default : "/" + +.. VARIABLE:: CPACK_RPM_BUILDREQUIRES + + List of source rpm build dependencies. + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : - + + May be used to set source RPM build dependencies (BuildRequires). Note that + you must enclose the complete build requirements string between quotes, for + example:: + + set(CPACK_RPM_BUILDREQUIRES "python >= 2.5.0, cmake >= 2.8") |
