Package: cmake
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: normal

There doesn't appear to be a sane way to override the _default_
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.  I can do

SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX / CACHE PATH "Installation path prefix" FORCE)

But that doesn't allow users who might be doing cross compilation to
manually change the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.  I would've expected that
setting CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE to foo.txt, and then setting
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX inside foo.txt would work; but, unfortunately, it
would appear that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set in
CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake just _after_ the rules override
file is included.  Quite honestly, I'm not sure if
CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE is even used; I can't get a MESSAGE()
inside the file to display. :/

Use DESTDIR,
cmake is working for a few package builds these days.

I'll close this old bug.
