Isn't that a problem with any dependency? I didn't have the impression
that pkgsrc really tracks required versions of dependencies. There is
syntax for it, sure, but I guess not every upstream source properly
documents the required cmake version properly, even. Also … with
buildlink3 files, I don't see custom version dependencies at all, only
ABI breaks being possibly handled.

Maybe put things like cmake on a shortlist to update first before
attempting any other update build?


Alrighty then,

Thomas
