Hello all,
Over the last few weeks, I've been working on a number of packages that
use CMake for the build system for various distros, and I've noticed
something rather peculiar. Of all the distros I've built packages for
(Fedora/CentOS, openSUSE, Mageia, Debian, and Ubuntu), only
Fedora/CentOS does not automatically do CMake building in a subdirectory
such that the build artifacts don't mix in with the source tree.
Essentially, the %cmake macro doesn't enforce builds are out-of-tree.
Is there a particular reason for this?
Freedom, baby!
But you certainly can do it if you want:
mkdir build
cd build
%cmake ..
Which I do think should be pretty much the standard.

I pretty much wound up doing that, but I wanted to know if there was a reason for not having it built into the macro like Mageia and SUSE do.
