I modified the OsgCPackConfig.cmake.in and OsgCPack.cmake files to expose access to select the package generator mechanism through cmake CPACK_GENERATOR option. The user can specify the type of package generator (i.e. rpms. deb, NSIS, tar, zip, etc) that they would like to use from the CPack supported packages/installation methods.
I also changed the CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME to use OSG_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME which contains the name of each component so all of the component packages can be generated without renaming the files.
This should make it even easier to create distribution packages for the various linux, windows and mac distribution methods supported by CPack."
name of the top folder in each package to OpenSceneGraph-x.y.z
Noone else has had an opinion on whether compiler and it's version
should be part of the package filename on their platform/setup so I'll
leave it as is. That is - No action is taken for compilers other than
msvc but one can easily add this information to the cmake cache
regardless of platform.

streamlined for tgz and has most of the features that Robert, J-S and
Sukender requested in december. I have an idea of how to discover the
vc80 sp1 or not but haven't had time to implement. The script is
completely reworked and now doesn't include cmakes' bundled
CPack.cmake script at all. In summary:
* filenames are
<package>-<osgversion>-<platform>-<arch>[-compiler]-<configuration>.tar.gz,
ex. libopenscenegraph-2.7.9-Linux-i386-Release.tar.gz,
libopenthreads-dev-2.7.9-win32-x86-vc80sp1-Debug.tar.gz
* targets (projects in msvs) are generated for each specified
component, a target that packages everything that is installed
(openscenegraph-all) and there's a target for running all other
packaging targets (Package ALL on msvs, package_ALL in unix
makefiles).
* It is possible to set the compiler in ccmake (cmake-gui, whatever you use)
* the top folder in packages is the same for all packages (OpenSceneGraph-x.y)
* the packaging support is limited with cmake-2.6.0 and not as
dynamic. With cmake-2.6.1 and later building the gdal plugin (for
example) will create a package_libopenscenegraph-gdal target. With
cmake-2.6.0 only the ones that are always built (libopenscenegraph,
libopenscenegraph-dev, openscenegraph, libopenthreads,
libopenthreads-dev
* i found a better way to decide whether cpack is available to guard
the BUiLD_OSG_PACKAGES option"
consider these initial cpack support scripts. It is hidden behind a
BUILD_PACKAGES option so won't affect the normal user. The submission
1) set the COMPONENT attribute on all cmake install commands.
COMPONENT names are according to
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/Packaging
2) provide cmake script and a template for creating CPack
configuration files. It will generate target for creating packages
with everything that gets "installed" (make package on unx, project
PACKAGE in MSVC) plus targets for generating one package per COMPONENT
(i.e. libopenscenegraph-core etc.).
I have temporariliy uploaded some examples to
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/People/MattiasHelsing
If this submission makes it into svn we can develop it to generate
rpms, installers for windows and mac (I know at least J-S don't like
these but there may be others who do ;) and even DEBs (not sure if we
can make them "ubuntu-ready" but they eventually may - at least we
could put a deb on the website)"
