RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Carl George 🤠 2020-07-21 01:04:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
Related to bug 1858941, there are macros in Fedora to allow optional out-of-source builds [0], as well as generic %cmake_build, %cmake_install, and %ctest macros.  Neal has demonstrated adding these in the CentOS dist-git [1].  Applying this to RHEL 8 would allow for consistency between Fedora, EPEL8, and EPEL7 to make packagers lives easier.

Sync Fedora macros for optional support for out-of-source builds

This patch can be applied to RHEL's dist-git with `git am -p2`.

Revised patch to sync Fedora macros for optional support for out-of-source builds

So I've tried out cmake-3.18.2-7.el8 in CentOS Stream since it landed couple of months ago[1]. It seems to work quite well. Can we see some movement here to merge my change into the cmake package for RHEL/CentOS 8.4?

I've revised my patch to incorporate a minor fix from Fedora for the %ctest macro and attached it here. Like the original, this patch can be applied to RHEL's dist-git with `git am -p2`.

Comment 4 Neal Gompa 2020-12-21 21:35:52 UTC 
@Tom, can you please take a look at this and merge it in? It's becoming a serious issue that it hasn't been incorporated into the CMake package in CentOS Stream yet...
Comment 5 Lukáš Hrázký 2021-01-11 17:39:57 UTC 
+1, can we get the macros in for 8.4 please? There's zero risk (AFAICS) and the sooner they're in the less issues people will face.
Comment 6 Michal Kolar 2021-01-29 10:52:32 UTC 
Tested against cmake-3.18.2-9.el8.
Comment 9 Michal Kolar 2021-01-29 11:35:42 UTC 
Verified against cmake-3.18.2-9.el8.
