Fedora recently made a change to their cmake macros, to force packages
to build "out of tree". The developers responsible for this change
plan to go through and fix up the thousand or so packages that may
break as a result, so they should eventually fix the official
downstream KiCAD package.
However, they will not be able to fix up third-party packages, one of
which is our nightly builds.
The attached email shows that KiCAD does indeed fail to build for
Fedora rawhide now. The right thing to do is to modify the
kicad.spec.template file to accommodate the new cmake macros, but as a
temporary workaround, we can add a line to force the old behavior:
%global __cmake_in_source_build 1
I've tried that, and it does let KiCAD build as before.
I don't know exactly how the developers plan to fix up the broken
packages, so we can either add the workaround, wait to see what they
do, then change the nightlies to match (and remove the workaround), OR
we can make our own changes, which may result in the spec files
diverging.
If the lead KiCAD devs wish, I can add the workaround - I can do that
quickly. Attempting to sort out a proper fix would naturally take
longer.
