It looks like we originally tried to leverage CPack for the CMake "dist" target in 035e404fff, then removed support for 
CPack itself in 0831becc1a. We don't exercise this target on the builders and I'm not sure if anyone else uses it. We 
could remove it or backport the non-RPM parts of c8cf127375 to master-2.6. Which would make more sense?
