Summary0015357: the src tarball is not ready for build like all other source releases
DescriptionI have software that will automatically download, extract, build, and install from source.

The cmake 3.0.0-1 release doesn't follow the standard pattern. When the software goes to extract from the bz2 file, instead of a simple source directory, it gets three folders.

245 Z% tar tzf build/cmake-3.1.0-1-src.tar.bz2
cmake-3.1.0-1.sh
cmake-3.1.0-1.patch
cmake-3.1.0.tar.bz2
246 Z%

I and this software think this is a bad idea. Please package all releases in the normal way, not like this with a patch and a shell script.
Steps To Reproducetar xzf build/cmake-3.1.0-1-src.tar.bz2

I didn't have this problem with cmake-3.0.2

Also the cmake-3.1.0-1.patch file is empty.

It's fine to provide a shell script to build, install, etc., but using it should be optional.

You've retrieved the cygwin source package tarball. The download page:

links to the actual source tarball, which is:
