As previously discussed this adds CI jobs that configure the Boost tree with various CMake versions.
For that the CMake source is downloaded and compiled, then cached for future jobs.
Using existing binary downloads failed due to e.g. updated OpenSSL libraries installed on the system. For a similar reason libcurl-dev is installed to be used by CMake instead of it building its bundled version of cURL which is incompatible with the system OpenSSL in some CMake versions.
Individual Boost libraries require different minimal CMake versions. That should be declared in their CMakeLists correctly. The
cmake_minimum_requiredline is used to determine which libraries to exclude for the currently tested CMake version.Some depend on libraries requiring a higher CMake version than itself or fail to declare their required CMake version, hence a manual list is maintained in addition to that.
The list of tested CMake versions is based on features selected depending on the CMake version:
