I just noticed that way back in January, a commit changed the behavior of cmake-core and enabled CPACK option by default. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=efaecf6690c4abad127e55e59e55b6c8722b2796 However, in the Makefile, that option is still described as 'experimental'. Is the description is outdated? It seems weird to me that an experimental feature should enabled by default.

Hale <jhale@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-02-03 23:19:43 +0000 devel/cmake*: Pet portclippy(1) and migrate to Qt6 Migrate towards Qt6: - Switch the default flavor of devel/cmake-gui to qt6. - Use qt6-tools instead of qt5-help in devel/cmake-doc to generate the Qt help file. Depend on the flavorized version of textproc/py-sphinx. Pet portclippy(1) and portlint(1) and make Makefile order more consistent within the devel/cmake* ports. Remove duplicate DISTINFO_FILE line from devel/cmake-man. [1] Make build of devel/cmake-core verbose [2] and respect WITH_CCACHE_BUILD in bootstrapping phase. Remove the "experimental" annotation from the CPACK option in devel/cmake-core to avoid end-user confusion. [3] The FreeBSD CPack generator has been marked experimental since version 3.11.4, but is supported upstream and shouldn't be considered experimental even if we've had to make some local changes to it. If it isn't working correctly, please file a bug report.

The CPACK option is no longer marked as "experimental". If there is a problem with it, please file a separate PR.
