Description Wade Berrier 2015-02-24 21:10:07 UTC
Description of problem: old version of cmake 2.8 has lots of bugs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8.11-4


Please update to 2.8.12.2 to fix various bugs.

El6 already has this update.

Comment 3 japsmits 2015-06-12 08:37:14 UTC
I second this.

For example, CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST is not in this version, making it impossible to "make package" usable RPMs with CPack. The directory /usr/lib64 is included in the package, which (of course) should not be there. RPM versions older than 4.8 don't care, but RPM has evolved since.

Comment 4 Christopher Meng 2015-09-05 16:29:02 UTC
I'd like to stress that cmake 2.8.11 contains buggy pkg_check_modules from FindPkgConfig.

AND, the most interesting thing is, RHEL6 even has 2.8.12 already while RHEL7 is still behind. It's annoying.

Comment 7 Carl George 2016-03-29 20:27:04 UTC
Awesome, looks like 2.8.12.2 will resolve this upstream issue that affects me currently.

Comment 8 Carl George 2016-03-29 21:12:19 UTC
I misread that bug.  It appears that 2.8.12.2 is the first *affected* version.  It would be fantastic if this fix could get backported to the RHEL7 package.

Comment 9 Orion Poplawski 2016-03-29 21:35:34 UTC
Just an FYI - cmake3 is now in epel-testing: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-1b4a2161de

Comment 10 Carl George 2016-03-30 20:25:39 UTC
Awesome, thanks Orion!  I'm definitely going to use cmake3 for the mariadb101u package I'm working on for IUS.  I gave that build a +1 karma to help it along.
