Please help us validate this release. We need your feedback, so let

It won't build on Debian Stretch:

The CMake project has been moving relatively quickly the past few
years. We depend on some of the newish features (though they're
already up to 3.21 now). The easiest way to get a newer version of
CMake is to install it through Python 3's package manager: pip.
I just finished updating the online documentation for building with
CMake. I've included instructions for how to install CMake, using
pip if necessary for some systems:
https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing/Installing-from-source-Unix.html#install-prerequisites
The first two attempts crashed the machine. The first after half an
hour, the second after two hours but by then I was in bed. I 'time'd
the third attempt. Five and a half hours. Well the root partition is
on NFS, but even so...

I hope this works for okay for you.
It worked in the end, thanks. At least it built some executables, I
haven't tried running them and probably won't for the moment as there
are other fish to fry.
It took me about a day to get cmake set up. Then cmake insisted on
things like libmiter and valgrind by default, which I guess like me
most people probably won't want. I wonder if you should consider a
reprieve for autotools, at least until the major distros have a cmake
that will build ClamAV, because I think what I had to do would be well
beyond the attention span of most ClamAV users.
When I rebuilt 0.103.3 using autotools to compare with the cmake
build, it somewhat curiously failed to find libmilter although I'd
installed it for the cmake build. I haven't investigated that yet.
The cmake build was about 20% quicker than using autotools.
