Summary:                    the src tarball is not ready for build like all
other source releases
Description: 
I have software that will automatically download, extract, build, and install
from source.

The cmake 3.0.0-1 release doesn't follow the standard pattern. When the software
goes to extract from the bz2 file, instead of a simple source directory, it gets
three folders.

245 Z% tar tzf build/cmake-3.1.0-1-src.tar.bz2 
cmake-3.1.0-1.sh
cmake-3.1.0-1.patch
cmake-3.1.0.tar.bz2
246 Z% 

I and this software think this is a bad idea. Please package all releases in the
normal way, not like this with a patch and a shell script.

Steps to Reproduce: 
tar xzf build/cmake-3.1.0-1-src.tar.bz2
