CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST ignored?

Usage
1

Using the latest cmake:

$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.18.20200707-gee781ac

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

cmakeing the cmake project from git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake.git starting with:

cd cmake
mkdir cmake-build && cd cmake-build
cmake .. -G Ninja -DSPHINX_MAN=ON -DSPHINX_HTML=ON -DCPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DIST=ON -DCPACK_RPM_FILE_NAME=RPM-DEFAULT -DCPACK_BINARY_RPM=ON -DCPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DIST=1 -DCPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST="$(for dir in $(rpm -ql filesystem) ; do [[ -d $dir ]] && echo -n $dir "" ; done)" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

CPackConfig.cmake seems OK with a giant set(CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST "/ /bin /boot ... /var/yp") line. Or maybe there should be no "?

ninja package completes without error, but rpm -qlp cmake-3.18.20200707_gee781ac-1.fc29.x86_64.rpm shows, among lots of other stuff,

...
/usr/local
/usr/local/bin
...
/usr/local/doc
...

… and lots of other directories that should have been excluded.

cmake-build/_CPack_Packages/Linux-x86_64/RPM/SPECS/cmake.spec shows, in part,

...
%dir "/usr/local"
%dir "/usr/local/bin"
...
%dir "/usr/local/doc"
...

How can I cpack a RPM and exclude these directories?

auto file list expects a list, you provided a string. try with a list in the form “path;path;path” with no space.

@hex Thanks! ... -DCPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST=$(for dir in $(rpm -ql filesystem) ; do [[ -d $dir ]] && echo -n ${dir}\; ; done) ... seems to fix this problem.

FYI, my cmake incantation that seems to do what I want is:

cmake .. -G Ninja -DSPHINX_MAN=ON -DSPHINX_HTML=ON -DCPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DIST=ON -DCPACK_RPM_FILE_NAME=RPM-DEFAULT -DCPACK_BINARY_RPM=ON -DCPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DIST=ON -DCPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST=$(for dir in $(rpm -ql filesystem) ; do [[ -d $dir ]] && echo -n ${dir}\; ; done) -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_DOC_DIR=share/doc/$(grep -o -E 'project\(\w+\)' ../CMakeLists.txt | sed -E 's/project\((\w+)\)/\1/')-$(grep -o -E 'VERSION_MAJOR [0-9]+' ../Source/CMakeVersion.cmake | cut -f2 -d' ').$(grep -o -E 'VERSION_MINOR [0-9]+' ../Source/CMakeVersion.cmake | cut -f2 -d' ') -DCMAKE_INFO_DIR=share/info -DCMAKE_MAN_DIR=share/man
