Bugzilla Automation <[email protected]> has asked freebsd-kde (group) <[email protected]> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 295319: Request: devel/cmake in tree is the legacy release (3.x); many new helpful features available in 4.x https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295319 --- Description --- cmake 4.0.0 was released over a year ago at this point (2025/03/27). There are some new features/functionality available in cmake 4.x which are not available in cmake 3.x (which is what FreeBSD distributes today). I realize the "uplift" probably is non-trivial, but it would be nice to have a modern version of cmake today in order for downstream maintainers to use newer idioms available in the meta-language.
