Hello Sergei,

Mixed results when just using CMAKE_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX to build
Mariadb RPMs with a non-default install prefix.

Good news:  the installed files use the supplied install prefix instead of /usr.

Bad news: the server post install script blew up and killed my
machine.  It did "chown -R mysql /" by mistake.  The problem is caused
by %{_sbindir} not being set to the new install directory.  I hacked
the post install script to print some debug info.

running expr : /
expr: syntax error
sbindir=/usr/sbin
bindir=/usr/bin
basedir=
datadir=

As you can see, the expr command is run with a null datadir, which
happens because /usr/sbin/mysqld does not exist, which happens because
the _sbindir variable is "/usr/sbin" rather than
CMAKE_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX/sbin.  Any ideas how to fix this?
