 Likewise you may call cmake directly. E.g. to create debian package
     cd _BUILD_DIR_; cmake _SRC_DIR_ -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=ON
 The generators (dependent on your system) are
-    DEB, RPM, TGZ, NSIS, STGZ, TBZ2, TZ
+    DEB, RPM, TGZ, NSIS, STGZ, TBZ2, TXZ, TZ
     
 Now it is possible to create the package
     cd _BUILD_DIR_; make package
-    #The created packages will be something like
-    #_PKG_NAME_.tar.gz
-    #_PKG_NAME_.zip

 therefore we have to get rid of it (e.g. for STGZ the parameter "--exclude-subdir").
 Some installation proceedings:
     STGZ:	sudo _PKG_NAME_.sh --exclude-subdir
