3.13.0beta1 ?

[Regina Obe]

I assume that GEOS there is meant to be GDAL?
What does upgrading CMake buy us.

That ticket you reference was fixed a different way.

I'm still hesitant to up the CMake version just for the sake of upping the CMake version especially so late in the cycle of GEOS 3.13 development.
If we had done this early own, I would not have an issue.

a) GEOS has no dependencies, so is something people can easily compile themselves unless we go around upping version requirements on them
b) GEOS is a much simpler project than GDAL and PROJ so has fewer needs
c) Granted I am less concerned about Ubuntu 20.04  and Debian 10  now that Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, Debian 11 and Debian 12 are out.

But I want to know what goodies we are going to get out of upgrading CMake.
