Current evaluation

Feature request to add a no-install build attribute to the cmake plugin so projects lacking an install target need not re-implement the build step. Untriaged, no maintainer response in ~7 years; the plugin still unconditionally runs the install target.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has no labels, no comments, and no assignee, showing no maintainer has ever assessed it, so it defaults to needs_triage. It is a valid feature request that remains unimplemented: craft_parts/plugins/cmake_plugin.py still unconditionally appends 'cmake --build . --target install' in get_build_commands, so a no-install attribute does not exist. It is not closed as stale because the requested capability is still missing and applicable, not merely old.

Issue body

Just encountered a project that doesn't have install target, it would be great if we don't need to re-implement the build step because of it.
