Well, this is a forum about SFML, not about Linux packages. You'd better post in a dedicated forum.

Use proper CMake install paths and then just use CPack to create deb and rpm packages for you.

Cmake will automatically do it for you?

I already found something for debian based users. look up http://sourceforge.net/projects/debreate/

searching this will help: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=gui+deb+package+creator

text based tutorials for .deb, .rpm, and .sh here: http://ftp://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Panel9.5/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.5-unix-mod-guide/index.htm?fileName=25839.htm
