Setting the cmake minimum version was a trade-off between supporting old distros and features that were painful to avoid. I don't remember the details, but there was an elaborate discussion over a couple of weeks where I pushed to get this set lower and lower, and David reworked things at my request. He was a very good sport about this, but I could only push the founder of KDE so far in support of obsolete technology. The bright side is that obtaining new versions of CMake for old distros is rather easy. Go to https://cmake.org/download/ and if you grab an appropriate pre-compiled binary for your architecture, it should work fine. If not, it's much easier to compile than Rosegarden. I used to have to do this myself, years ago. In the end, I remembered that precedent from the past, and felt better about requiring such a recent CMake version. I should have mentioned something about this in the release note, but I simply forgot this was going to be an issue. -- D.
