Yes but no. From the other thread, not only, I got the impression there was an
objection to the continuous uping of requirements, but quiet a lot of stable
version of the major distributions don't have cmake 2.4.5. And it's not that
this is difficult to increase version, but it's time consuming and not at all
fun.

I am not taking either side but at least for Mandriva the latest cmake is easy to install from cooker, i.e. http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrivalinux/devel/cooker/{i586,x84_64}/media/main/release
it does not have any extra deps besides what I have in Mandriva2007 so it's one-liner (with urpmi configured).
I'd suggest people using other distros provide the links they use and steps they take so that everybody spends less time on this (does this sound like wiki or may be cmake web-page should just add repositories for latest version available in (potentially unstable) branches for distros)....

anyway just a thought,
Andriy
