Testers wanted! cmake based build system for deal.II with TPLs

[Jan Philipp Thiele]

Hi everyone,

The last few weeks I've been working on improving my cmake skills.

One output of this is a cmake project that is able to build deal.II with almost
all dependencies that can be found at:
https://github.com/jpthiele/dealii-cmake-superbuild

So far I could only test it on my workstation which is a Centos7 linux system with
gcc 10.0.1 and OpenMPI compilers.

So any test with different compilers and especially different operating systems would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
Philipp

P.S:
On a side note, any package that is itself cmake based is relatively straightforward to add to the pipeline and it would also be possible to extend the superbuild to libraries depending on deal.II so if you want to add anything feel free to ask, submit an issue or a pull request
