hugin++, creating package

[Kornel Benko]

Hi,
compiling hugin++ and creating a package, I regularly get the message
...
CPack Warning: Adding file to tar:
#top level
directory: /BUILD/BUILDMint18/BuildHugin_plus/_CPack_Packages/Linux/DEB/hugin-2021.1.0.8534-Linux
#missing file: /usr2/src/hugin/huginplusplus-hugin++/Debian/shlibs.local


The mentioned directory contains only the 'postinst' file.

It is not your fault. In fact, the same warning is when creating package for hugin.

The reason for this is the line in CMakeLists.txt
SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_CONTROL_EXTRA
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Debian/postinst"
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Debian/shlibs.local")

but the repository does not contain the file shlibs.local.

Afaik the file should not be part of the package, neither.
