First of all, thank you very much for your suggestion! I did not know that was an option actually, so cheers for teaching me something new.

Second of all, while I share your view of not building CMake from source, this is only due to using Ubuntu 18.04, which has a CMake version lower than 3.15. The reason I will not fix it, is that I plan to switch to Ubuntu 20 with the next release, which would eliminate the issue.

Does this seem reasonable to you? If you still think there is a better approach, we can further discuss this matter.
