This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. (In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > > There may be other issues, but I think it would be unfortunate if RHEL6 was > stuck with cmake 2.6.X for it's lifetime. I would think that now (before > release) would be easiest time for a move to 2.8 to take place. It's quite late in the game for any rebase in RHEL6. Can you please elaborate more on features we're missing with 2.6.x version? Main addition that I'm aware of is much better support for other languages including Fortran. It may not turn out to be a big deal, but I could also see projects dropping support for 2.6 as time goes on. I'd be curious to know what in RHEL6 is using cmake, I wouldn't have thought it was that much.

For example, this is preventing packaging of the Fenics project for EPEL. Can we have a definitive answer - if RHEL is not going to rebase, then we can maybe start to look at a cmake28 package for EPEL. For info: CMake 2.8.0 was released in September 2009 Also, cmake does not affect the runtime for anything and is not a dependency for any non-devel package. I've generated a parallel installable cmake28 package for EL6 in the meantime, review request here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819678 *** Bug 831346 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 831345 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 949713 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
