idea - CPack Debian source package generator

Development
1

Hello, we maintain a project GitHub - userver-framework/userver: Production-ready C++ Asynchronous Framework with rich functionality which uses CMake+CPack for deb package generation. We want to upload the .deb package to PPA, which requires us to generate debian source package, which is not supported by CPack yet.

Is there any major issues with debian source package generator? Is it possible to see it in the next releases of CMake? :slight_smile:

See the CPack module. Including it enables cpack -G DEB --config CPackSourceConfig.cmake. I don’t recall whether the result meets the requirements for a PPA source package though.
