FYI: To drive the details of getting CMake 3.22 installed everywhere, I created the internal issue [SEPW-520](https://sems-atlassian-son.sandia.gov/jira/browse/SEPW-520). I will just report back here when it gets done. NOTE: If this...

NOTE: CMake 3.23.0 has just been released as of 6 hours ago: * https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/tag/v3.23.0 * https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.23/ But I think we need to wait at least a month before we upgrade...

I talked with an internal DevOps team yesterday and they mentioned one path forward is to copy the Spack package directory for CMake `spack/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/cmake/` file (along with its `package.py` file),...

> They can also do spack install [email protected] on older spack versions @haampie, I did not realize that was supported. I will give that a try. If this works, that...

FYI: I tested out running `spack install --no-checksum [email protected]` with Spack v0.17.1 (CMake 3.23.0 just got released 2 days ago) and it worked (details below). So this would seem to...
