Description of problem: cmake has been updated to 2.8.12.2 in RHEL6.6, so we don't need cmake28 anymore.
Wow, did expect that... I wish we could have come up with a less "versiony" name, it would have been nice to be able to upgrade this package to the 3.0 series. I don't suppose that the new RHEL package will have a virtual provides for cmake28? It would be nice not to have to go fix all my spec file conditionals.
It does not contain any cmake28 macros or provides, unfortunately (but neither did fedora's pkg that it was based upon)
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2015-April/011100.html One thing standing in the way of retiring cmake28 is all of the EPEL packages that use cmake28. It would be nice if the base RHEL package had a virtual provides and symlink for cmake28 because then the EPEL package could be retired would any changes needed in the any of the existing packages. Can that sort of thing be handled as part of this bugzilla? Or should a separate bugzilla requesting that change be created?
If you want to make such a request, do it in a separate BZ against RHEL6 cmake.
Hi folks, sorry I dropped this package sometime ago now, as I no longer have access or reason to use rhel6/sl6/centos6 machines. I've re-assigned the bug accordingly, hopefully Jon will pick it up. FWIW it'd be nice if upstream added facility in the build system to rename the binary with a suffix, such that the manual patching I did doesn't have to be laboriously re-done with each release.
Simply adding a Provides won't do it, most of the packages that use cmake28 are modified to use the parallel-installed binaries. Better to migrate. Do we have a list of packages that BR it?
Wouldn't making a cmake28 symlink that points to cmake fix that? I think finding the list of BRs will be hard (or at least time consuming): https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/186636.html
I think reducing this package to just a symlink is ok. Any objections?
Seems reasonable.
