[Bug 1534263] [NEW] Import cmake-3.4 series to Ubuntu Xenial

[Jose Luis Rivero]

Public bug reported:

Latest stable upstream release. New 3.4 series which brings nice
features with respect to current version in Xenial. It has been in
debian-sid for more than one month and I can not find any bug related to
this latest version.

It builds just fine in my Xenial PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/cmake-3.4-xenial

Regarding to the building issues in armhf, arm64 and powerpc in the 3.3
series, I see that 3.4 debian packages compiles in all them
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/cmake) so probably they are now fixed.

I was close to submit the standard requestsync but just realized that we
probably want to keep a set of specific ubuntu patches. The requestsync
displayed me this message:

---------------- 8< ----------------------------------------
Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * Cherry-pick upstream commit fe558718b30da989db8b880374012a0e580574e6
    to fix test suite failure with new file.
  * Cherrypick Features_Extract_strings_from_test_binary_more_reliably.patch
    from Debian to fix test-suite errors.
  * Revert back to 3.2.2, build issues on armhf, arm64 and powerpc.
  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - debian/cmake-data.install
      debian/MultiArchCross.cmake
      debian/patches/ubuntu_cmake-crosscompile.patch
      Add MultiArchCross.cmake to installed files.
      (help cmake to find libraries in multiarch path)
      xnox says this is not yet ready to go upstream but he will work on it
    - debian/patches/ubuntu_boost-multiarch.patch
      find boost and python in multiarch path
      this is a candidate for removal but needs rdepend testing
  * Search for Python 3.5.

---------------- 8< ----------------------------------------

So: can we go with a normal requestsync? Is there any patches that needs
to be migrated? I'm available to get some work done if needed.

Thanks.
