@CuthbertJungle ok, wow... I generated that in my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, using CMake/CPack version 2.8.12.2...

Maybe need adjustments in CMakeLists.txt? There are LOTS of CPack variables and maybe I missed some... suggestions... fixes... patches...

As basically a Windows person I really needs help in linux...

@geoffmcl geoffmcl added this to the 5.2 milestone Jan 7, 2016

@geoffmcl I believe the md5sum error is fixed from CMake 3.3+

@sataris thanks for the information about CMake 3.3+

The actual package building has been moved out of this main source repo, to its own binaries repo, so we have a chance to use other packaging methods, other than cmake.

In any case we have concluded the CMake/CPack packaging is too rudimentary for both Windows and MAC OS X, and are already planning alternative packaging for those systems...

@CuthbertJungle we are considering a new release 5.2 shortly, and will try to certainly take care that any package we generate for unix passes the lintian tests... and have moved this to Issue 1 in the binaries repo...

Please continue any comments on this to there...

Meantime closing this here...
