That does look pretty invasive. Why not just install it to /usr/lib/cmake34 with normal names and symlink the versioned names? E.g. /usr/bin/cmake34 -> /usr/lib/cmake34/bin/cmake /usr/bin/ctest34 -> /usr/lib/cmake34/bin/ctest +1 Personnally when I installed several version of CMake I do install them with a particular prefix and then I use update-alternatives(1) to install proper symlinks to the specific location. I switch from one version to another using update-alternatives(1). This can certainly be used on Fedora/EPEL as well: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives
Yes, but this cannot be done in rpm spec files for building other packages (as would be done in EPEL). Perhaps we could leverage environment-modules, but this would be a bit of a departure.
