Comment 21 Alexander Korsunsky 2020-08-21 14:35:48 UTC 
As mentioned by Neal Gompa in Bug 1845910#c6, CMake 3.18 includes important CUDA-specific enhancements, such as support for using C++17 with CUDA.

I would kindly ask you to rebase to at least CMake 3.18 in the upcoming version.
Comment 26 Michal Kolar 2020-09-18 09:41:17 UTC 
Tested against cmake-3.18.2-6.el8.

Comment 29 Denis Arnaud 2020-09-22 11:32:12 UTC 
From https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-eus, it seems that RHEL 8.4 would be released around mid-2021. Could anyone confirm this or point to more accurate release dates?
Comment 30 Tilmann Scheller 2020-09-22 13:08:18 UTC 
Per https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/#Life_Cycle_Dates RHEL 8.0 was released on 2019-05-07. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#RHEL8_Life_Cycle mentions "Minor releases are planned for release every six months through the Full Support phase.". RHEL 8 is currently in the Full Support phase. I.e. based on the above information RHEL 8.4 is likely to be released two years after RHEL 8.0 which would be around May 2021.
Disclaimer: Note that I'm purely quoting from publicly available Red Hat documentation here, this is not supposed to be interpreted as any kind of official public statement regarding the RHEL 8.4 release date by any means.

Comment 39 serge_sans_paille 2020-10-28 16:51:20 UTC 
Just rebuilt cmake-3.18.2-8.el8 linking with system libarchive instead of bundling it.

Verified against cmake-3.18.2-8.el8.
Comment 45 Richard Shaw 2020-11-30 15:23:22 UTC 
When will the newer version of CMake be available for actual use (specifically in EPEL)?
Comment 46 Tilmann Scheller 2020-12-18 15:21:31 UTC 
Richard, this bug only tracks the CMake rebase in RHEL 8.4, I'm not sure what the EPEL situation/plan is. Please also see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1816874#c30 for some information on when this is expected to ship.
Comment 47 Carl George 🤠 2020-12-23 18:19:43 UTC 
Richard, EPEL builds against RHEL, so shortly after RHEL 8.4 is released it will be synced to the EPEL 8 buildroot.

If you want to start testing the new cmake package now, it's available in CentOS Stream 8.
