We could add a cmake version requirement to mk/blas.buildlink3.mk in an
if(USE_CMAKE) … or also if cmake is mentioned as TOOL only? That way,
all packages that depend on BLAS and use CMake get it.

I'm not sure how that would interfere with a setting already done in
the tools/replace.mk … we'd need some interaction between those?

I must admit that my regular use case is building pkgsrc prefixes from
scratch. This is Other People's Problems. But since you raised the same
before, I thought I speak up about the recent need for more up-to-date
CMake.


Alrighty then,

Thomas


PS: I'm hacking up minor update (3.4.16 → 3.4.17) to graphics/opencv
with fixed BLAS detection, using CMake and pkg-config … I hope that's
fine for the freeze. Right now, it's not good what opencv tries there.
