| CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY |
| -------------------------------- |
| |
| Boolean toggle to include/exclude top level directory. |
| |
| When preparing a package CPack installs the item under the so-called |
| top level directory. The purpose of is to include (set to ``1`` or ``ON`` or |
| ``TRUE``) the top level directory in the package or not (set to ``0`` or |
| ``OFF`` or ``FALSE``). |
| |
| Each CPack generator has a built-in default value for this variable. |
| E.g. Archive generators (ZIP, TGZ, ...) includes the top level |
| whereas RPM or DEB don't. The user may override the default value by |
| setting this variable. |
| |
| There is a similar variable |
| :variable:`CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY` which may be used |
| to override the behavior for the component packaging |
| case which may have different default value for historical (now |
| backward compatibility) reason. |
