Correct, the difference would be that instead of releasing a unstable cmake which might have bugs, we will be releasing a fairly well tested version of cmake. > Why is it impossible to put the cmake 2.8.12 package in the same sandbox as > the KDE Frameworks? > I do not know, we did not investigate sandboxing cmake since the backported package seemed to work well for KF5. Sure, it can be probably done, but this seems to create extra maintenance work. The more I think about it, the more it seems like a chicken and egg problem : New cmake might potentially break apps, hence we don't ship it, but if the problem is never caught, it might never be corrected and the final release might still have the bug. I suppose people can always roll back to a stable release of cmake using apt if it does break their projects. Best Rohan Garg
