-Subject: [PATCH] Specify CMake policy range to avoid deprecation warning
-
-CMake 3.27 started issuing a deprecation warning for any
-cmake_minimum_required() call that specified a minimum
-version older than 3.5. Specifying a version range instead of
-a simple minimum version avoids that warning without
-raising the minimum supported CMake version. The NEW
-policy behavior will be used for all policies introduced up to
-CMake 3.14 with this change.
