[Dune-devel] newer compilers in the CI system

[Christoph Grüninger]

Hi Ansgar,
Martin is right, newer compilers are welcome. Thanks for your ongoing CI
works!

In the past, people with older system yelled when it did no longer work.
When I make larger changes, I test with the older supported CMake
version. They are easily co-installable.
Further, I when am release manager, I test everything with the older
CMake + compiler supported. I hope other do similar.
Still, having those tests automated makes spotting such breakage easier…

Bye
Christoph
