Description Jaroslav Mracek 2020-11-13 13:51:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
Due to cmake changes in Fedora 33+, dnf required a modified spec (See https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/commit/b68f5fa70e02d382edf5e43c9d425018c47ec427). On the other side new macros cannot be used with the old cmake - Fedora 31, 32, RHEL8.

My work as DNF developer requires often to create builds for Fedora and RHEL therefore it requires additional time to modify spec.

I suggest to move back old build macros as conditional part of spec to provide old cmake compatibility.

Actual results:
Upstream dnf spec cannot be used for RHEL8 builds

Expected results:
Upstream dnf spec can be used for RHEL8, Fedora 31+ builds

Please notify the CMake maintainer that they need to fix bug 1858983 for you instead.
