Domen, Thanks for the reply to my question. I was aware of the Debian packaging generator page and I also was already setting the component value to uppercase.
As documented, I had to use PARENT_SCOPE when setting CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_XXX values from sub-projects' CMakeLists.txt. Also, curious why CPACK_*COMPONENT*_<COMPONENT>_DESCRIPTION is different from the other CPACK_*DEBIAN*_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_XXX? With your help, I have individual packaging working now, except for unique version. I also realize that I would like to be able to set the contributor for some packages to be unique. I would like to contribute to CMake. I see the page https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob_plain;f=CONTRIBUTING.rst;hb=master. It mentions submitting contributions in patch form. Are pull requests also accepted? -- View this message in context: http://cmake.3232098.n2.nabble.com/CPack-Create-debian-packge-for-each-sub-project-tp7595889p7595895.html Sent from the CMake mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
