%cmake and %cmake_kf5 macros will be adjusted (-B parameter) to use separate build folder (already standardized %{_vpath_builddir} macro). Additionally, %cmake_build, %cmake_install and %ctest macro will be created (and backported to the older supported Fedora releases) to perform various operations that are commonly used with CMake in a backend-agnostic (Makefiles, Ninja, etc.) way.
Packages that will stop building are trivial to fix and will be adjusted either by maintainers or change owners.
I'll abstain since I am on of the change owners.
+1
I've been doing out-of-tree CMake builds for my packages for years (most of which have migrated to meson now, thank goodness :sweat_smile: ).
Abstaining as I'm one of the change owners. :sweat_smile:
APPROVED (+7, 2, -0)

You are aware that this Change is actually going to break all packages that already build out of source? See the mailing list thread.
