How would CMake know that these tarballs are in a somewhat final version
that you want to archive as opposed to a state where they haven't passed
the most basic tests yet? I would implement this outside CMake: wherever is
the information that guides the decision to archive. When that decision is
made then some script would simply "exfiltrate" the tarballs and whatever
else from the build/ directory before it gets cleaned. Sounds like
something CI does every day.

This being said, CPack seems to have a ton of documented and undocumented
(read: Stackoverflow) options, hopefully some of them do what you want.
