Research direction

Open CMakeLists.txt and inspect the declaration that currently requires CMake 3.30. Try the project configuration and existing build with CMake 3.28; done means the minimum requirement is lowered without breaking the project’s current build.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, CMakeLists.txt requires CMake 3.30. It would be much more convenient if it required 3.28, because 3.28 is the version on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and installing a newer CMake there, while possible, is still somewhat a hassle.

I tried changing 3.30 to 3.28 manually, and everything appeared to still work. I'm not sure why 3.30 is required.
