Description of problem: Unable to install cmake3 on CentOS-8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: dnf/yum install cmake3 Actual results: Package cmake-3.11.4-7.el8.x86_64 is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Expected results: cmake3-3.17.3-3.el8.x86_64 Additional info: $ rpm -q --provides cmake ... cmake = 3.11.4-7.el8 cmake3 = 3.11.4-7.el8 Is this OK? 3.11 is not new enough for LLVM. At https://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel/ I cannot find cmake3.el8 anywhere despite it is built in Koji: cmake3-3.17.2-1.el8 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1500080
Hi Jan. Unfortunately, `cmake3-3.17.2-1.el8` from EPEL (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1500080) cannot be pushed into the repositories because it conflicts with CMake(3) from CentOS.
Maybe to call it cmake3-latest in .el8 EPEL? It can be always adjusted later, it is just EPEL. But I see it is not obvious how to go forward.
cmake3 (or cmake3-latest) would not be allowed by EPEL policy, because as Antonio mentioned it would have conflicts with cmake from RHEL. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Policy_for_Conflicting_Packages Red Hat is investigating updating their cmake package, see bug 1845910.
