Re: [Vxl-maintainers] How long do we support old versions of CMake?

[Wheeler, F. W (G. Research) <wh...@cr...>]

I think all my builds already use a cmake more recent than 2.4.5, so no
problem with me.

Fair enough.  Perhaps we can go with a "reasonable" update.  For
example, you know that the modules in, e.g., 2.4.3 are good, and we
should use it.  2.4.3 is not brand new.  Send out a message to
maintainers, state the value add, and we can quickly debate it.

I think it'd be better to force reasonable CMake upgrades than keep
populating Modules/NewCMake.  As you wrote, maybe "reasonable" should be
based on the latest available on a bunch of common platforms.

Folks that maintain a dashboard build: it there any reason not to use
CMake >= 2.4.5?

I think we should certainly clean out NewCMake to match the minimum
CMake version that we agree on.
