[Discuss-gnuradio] [Announcement] GNU Radio pre-3.8: pre-Change notification

[Marcus Müller]

In order to proliferate a bit of knowledge about what is currently
changing while we're progressing on our development branch towards a
GNU Radio 3.8.0.0 release:

CMake req. version -> CMake 3.8 (Ubuntu 16.04 deprecation)
==========================================================

We (mostly: Andrej!) managed to rework GNU Radio's CMake
infrastructure. This comes to our great advantage, because it de-crufts 
not only the main GNU Radio build system, but also OOTs, and we can now
actually build out of tree modules with far, far fewer CMake files
distributed with the module.

But that means we need a somewhat recent CMake (3.8). Ubuntu 16.04 only
ships CMake 3.5.1.

Best regards,
Marcus
