I'm looking at packaging up cmake 3.4 for EPEL7 as cmake34 much like we
did with cmake 2.8 in EPEL6 as cmake28. Generally what we've done in
the past is still install into the normal paths and rename binaries &
directories asneeded. With cmake this is quite tricky and requires an
invasive patch.
It would be much easier to install into a different prefix and then
symlink to /usr/bin/cmake34 - although I still have some doubts as to
whether this would work or not - cmake seems to want to still spawn
"cmake" which would use the system version (or not be found). One might
also be able to use environment-modules, though this would require more
modification to spec files.
See

details.
Thoughts?
