It turns out, cmake already has a presence[1] in the modules namespace of dist-git. It is a relic of the Modularity 1.0 effort, but it's already there and that will make this easier. The first thing to look at is CMake's compatibility policy. At a quick glance, it appears that CMake upstream expects to maintain backwards-compatible support for all minor releases within the "3.x" major release number. So from my perspective, the best choice for you would be to pick the stream name "3", resulting in `cmake:3` as your module stream. This will allow you to update to any future 3.x release within the same stream. If CMake 4 is ever released, you can create the `cmake:4` stream in the same manner. To do this, request the "3" branch for the cmake module with: $ fedpkg request-branch --namespace modules cmake 3 Once that branch is created: $ fedpkg clone modules/cmake $ fedpkg switch-branch 3 Create a `cmake.yaml` file in the dist-git checkout as described in the docs [2], commit and push it to dist-git and then do: $ fedpkg module-build When creating the definition, you'll want to either leave the dependencies at `platform: [ ]` (meaning build for all supported releases, Fedora and EPEL) or else specifically use `platform: [ el8 ]` to build only for EPEL 8. All of this said: it's important to note that this approach also means that any package that wants to use your newer CMake to build in EPEL 8 will need to build as a module and set their module dependency to include `cmake:3`. It won't be available in the buildroot for non-modular packages.
