CMake warnings in edge build

[luzpaz]

There are so many CMake warnings in the output they are too numerous to put here. Here are the first two:

:: -- Found OpenGLU: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so
:: CMake Warning (dev) at cMake/FreeCAD_Helpers/SetupBoost.cmake:7 (find_package):
:: Policy CMP0167 is not set: The FindBoost module is removed. Run "cmake
:: --help-policy CMP0167" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy command to
:: set the policy and suppress this warning.
::
:: Call Stack (most recent call first):
:: CMakeLists.txt:72 (SetupBoost)
:: This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

I guess at least the first line of that warning could be fixed by upgrading the snap's Vtk from 7.1.1 to 9.1.0. The Debian package in the daily PPA has already 9.1.0, so I guess it can be considered as tested.

In any case, it would be great to have a concerted effort to harmonize the versions of different libraries in all packages/platforms, as it would potentially reduce the number of bugs related to specific library versions.

Library	Version	Platform	Package	Channel
Python	3.10.12	Linux	.deb	daily PPA
Python	3.10.12	Linux	.snap	edge
Qt	5.15.3	Linux	.deb	daily PPA
Qt	5.15.10	Linux	.snap	edge
Coin	4.0.0	Linux	.deb	daily PPA
Coin	4.0.0	Linux	.snap	edge
Vtk	9.1.0	Linux	.deb	daily PPA
Vtk	7.1.1	Linux	.snap	edge
OCCT	7.8.1	Linux	.deb	daily PPA
OCCT	7.7.1	Linux	.snap	edge

Great list. This reminds me of an idea to create some sort of script that queries all current dev builds and outputs all their dependencies in a way that it's easy to distinguish/compare versions.

Hey @adrianinsaval @oursland @ipatch
Is there a way we can create the logic and a page somewhere that keeps track of the 3rd party dependency versions of all the development builds (by polling them somehow) ?

We could output it to a graph similar to #151 (comment)

not saying it couldn't be done, but that would require a bit of effort to try and automate that process. 😬

Prompt: an open source project generates multiple cross-platform development builds on a weekly/daily basis. What would be an automated way to retrieve a list of the 3rd party dependencies used during each build process and capture them in a markdown table that compares the dependency across all builds?
