Despite what I initially wrote (that I want to increase the requirements), if we turn away potential users by this, that would be a good reason to NOT bump the requirements.
Arne Morten's message implies that we can still provide binary packages for new releases (i.e. 2020.04 and 2020.10 etc.) for Ubuntu back to 16.04. But does that still hold if we also increase compiler requirements to gcc 8.3? If not, perhaps we should only increase the Dune version for now?

As for dune, the ppa provides 2.6 for 18.04 and 16.04 already so it does not have a big impact for ubuntu builds. ________________________________ Fra: Opm <opm-boun...@opm-project.org> på vegne av Bård Skaflestad <bard.skafles...@sintef.no> Sendt: tirsdag 28. januar 2020 09:47 Til: Joakim Hove <joakim.h...@gmail.com>; opm@opm-project.org <opm@opm-project.org> Emne: Re: [Opm] Dependencies revisited In addition to the Boost.Spirit component that Joakim mentions there's also the practical issue that almost all of our unit tests target Boost.Test as a framework. For instance, the header <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> is included 193 times across the OPM code base. If we're going to replace that with another framework--Google Test might be an alternative--it is going to require some work to rewrite the tests. That said, raising the minimum C++ language version to C++17 will allow us to replace most of our other usage of Boost; notably regular expressions and Boost.Filesystem.

It is simple to replace with std varieties, but there might be a performance hit.
