That’s the way to go. CPackRPM is using rpmbuild command in order to create RPMs.  
The default behavior of rpmbuild may depends on system specific RPM macros:  
[https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/#rpm-distribution-macros](https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/#rpm-distribution-macros)  
which are not under CPackRPM control.

(re)defining your appropriate value may help as you see.

Same kind of solution for [https://discourse.cmake.org/t/cpack-rpm-prebuild-jar-file-changes-checksum](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/cpack-rpm-prebuild-jar-file-changes-checksum)
