[Opm] Dependencies revisited

[Richard Huntrods]

My only problem with the new requirements is that I manage many Ubuntu 
servers, some for clients, some for myself. I will only upgrade to LTS 
versions of Ubuntu, ever.

That means I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS right now, and won't be upgrading 
until the next LTS release, whichever that is (I think 20.04?).

So if OPM requires some other interim version that is not LTS, I would 
have to avoid that version.

Cheers,

-R

> The world keeps on turning, and maybe it is time to revisit mimimum version requirements for Flow dependencies. One of the more pressing issues is Dune. We now have an implementation of CPR (constrained pressure residual) which requires Dune to be version 2.6.0 or newer. Today, this means that the latest Debian stable (Buster, released this summer) and Ubuntu 19.04 will be minimum for those who wants to use Dune from packages. Please raise your concern if this will bite you.
