Jiri Daněk updated DISPATCH-1942:
---------------------------------
Description:
There has been a [CMake modernization
PR|https://github.com/apache/qpid-dispatch/pull/288] and an issue
DISPATCH-1268. Many CMake modernizations could not be applied due to RHEL 6
support. Both RHEL 6 and 7 bundle cmake 2.8.12.2. Ubuntu and Fedora do not
suffer from ancient CMake.
Can we raise the minimum required CMake version without impacting RHEL 7/8?
* There is cmake 3.14.6 and cmake 3.17.5 [available in
EPEL|https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/c/] for aarch64
and x86_64, respectively. The full package name (for x86_64) is
cmake3-3.17.5-1.el7.x86_64.rpm.
* There is cmake 3.6.2 for RHEL 7 available as part of the llvm-toolset-9-rhel7
repository. The full package name is
llvm-toolset-9.0-cmake-3.6.2-12.el7.x86_64.rpm. There is also llvm-toolset-10,
but it has the same CMake version in it.
[Docs|https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_developer_tools/1/html-single/using_llvm_10.0.1_toolset/index].
On the RHEL 8 front, RHEL 8.3 brings cmake-3.11.4-3.el8.x86_64.rpm and it does
not have any CMake in its EPEL. Upcoming [RHEL 8.4 is promised to bring CMake
3.18|https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1756974].
Given the info I collected above, it seems to me that Dispatch can easily go to
CMake 3.11 in short time, and will be able to further leap to CMake 3.12 (the
one that [improved locating
Python|https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.12/release/3.12.html#modules]) when RHEL
8.4 is out. Depending on the situation on other platforms, even newer version
than 3.12 might be possible then. IMO we should aim for CMake 3.15, because it
improved locating Python (prior versions look for newest Python on entire PATH,
since 3.15 its possible to look for first satisfying. That helps with Virtual
environments a lot.
