Thats a good news the nullsoft installer feature in CPack, really ;-)
I am looking forward to the next release ;-)

About that, just an idea : www.pkgsrc.org : source package , or binary packages in a simple tgz... Maybe CPack could generate a binary package for pkgsrc ? that would be less work than taking care of all the different package management systems... and many platforms could be supported... maybe not good to have such a strong dependency, but maybe worth asking the mailing list about it sometime ;-)

Well, CMake does not, but there is a new tool that will be part of CMake called CPack.
It will work much like CMake, in that it will have generators for various native packaging tools.
It will be a beta release in CMake 2.4. Currently, it can create nullsoft windows installers,
tar.gz files, and self extracting tar.gz files.
