(An ancient version of) CMake is part of RHEL proper though.
And, while a lot of work has been put into those macros, the changes for
automagic out-of-source builds have caused a lot of completely unnecessary
breakage, considering that it had always been possible to do out-of-source
builds using very straightforward boilerplate (that was widely used and was
actually broken by the change), which could be simplified even more when
relying on a CMake recent enough to support -S and -B (as the new macros
actually do). (But CMake itself still supports the legacy cd build && cmake
.. && make -j… just fine, only the macro changes make that idiom no longer
work as is if you use the %cmake macro.) So I do not see at all what we have
gained by the addition of default -S and -B flags to the %cmake macro.
