The Debian 11 build fails because it attempts to create a release with a bogus version number. The error is: ... GEN release-prep announce-gen: ./NEWS: no news item found for '42.4711' make[3]: *** [maint.mk:1422: announcement] Error 25 make[2]: *** [maint.mk:1542: release-prep] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/builds/jas/inetutils' make[1]: *** [maint.mk:1526: stable] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/builds/jas/inetutils' make: *** [maint.mk:1534: release] Error 2 see https://gitlab.com/jas/inetutils-cicd/-/blob/master/inetutils.yml#L101 and https://gitlab.com/jas/inetutils-cicd/-/blob/master/inetutils.yml#L102 > I'm not that familiar with NixOS but noticed now that builds fail. The NixOS build fails because of too old Automake: lib/Makefile.am:110: require Automake 1.14, but have 1.11.6 ... autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 ./bootstrap: autoreconf failed see https://hydra.nixos.org/build/183833122/nixlog/1/tail HTH, Erik
