Note however that ``<COMPONENT>`` refers to +the **grouping name** written in upper case. It may be either a component name +or a component GROUP name. + +Here are some CPack DEB generator wiki resources that are here for historic +reasons and are no longer maintained but may still prove useful: + + - https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cpack/Configuration + - https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cpack/PackageGenerators#deb-unix-only + +List of CPack DEB generator specific variables: + +.. variable:: CPACK_DEB_COMPONENT_INSTALL + + Enable component packaging for CPackDEB + + * Mandatory : NO + * Default : OFF + + If enabled (ON) multiple packages are generated.
