There is a build for cmake3 with backported macros in testing: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-a911888c3e It just needs karma to make it to stable. > > > Currently all fixed by proven packages SPEC files cannot be built on > > > EPEL branches. > > A better way would have been to introduce a new macro and migrate all > packages to it gradually.

The trouble is that EPEL 8 has CMake 3.11, which doesn't have everything I need to do this properly, so I'm trying to come up with something still. As it is, for now, you can revert to the old behavior by putting in your spec %global __cmake_in_source_build 1 and the %cmake macro will behave exactly like before, requiring manual effort to do an out of source build. Also note that this variable is set for EPEL and current supported Fedora releases. It is *unset* for Fedora 33+. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
