[Bug 1534263] Re: [FFe] [merge request] Import cmake-3.4 series to Ubuntu Xenial 16.04LTS

[Dirk Thomas]

I tried to test the ~1500 downstream packages of CMake to see if the new
version has any generic problems.

I setup a pair of jobs for each of them. One builds the package with the
standard CMake version of Xenial, the other uses the CMake 3.5 package
fomr Joses PPA. The build steps these jobs perform as well as how I set
them up are described here: https://github.com/dirk-
thomas/ubuntu_xenial_cmake

While our build farm hasn't finsihed all of the 3k jobs yet the results looks promising. All ran jobs have a consistent result with the different CMake version - not a single one of the 900 pairs already finished diverge: http://54.183.26.131:8080/view/UbuntuCMake/
This job provides an easier to read summary: http://54.183.26.131:8080/view/UbuntuCMake/job/_dashboard_ubuntu_cmake/

Should we move forward and use the CMake 3.5 package form Joses PPA
instead of 3.4?
