RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
