Hi,

this is a heads-up that I'm planning to upload the next minor release of CMake 4 to unstable. The release is scheduled about two weeks from now, around October 8th. Once CMake 4 hits unstable (again), I will upgrade the remaining open CMake 4 FTBFS bugs to serious.

Virtually all those bugs are caused by asking for compatibility settings for CMake older than 3.5 (cmake_minimum_reqired() and friends), but very few packages actually rely on outdated behavior. Thus, most bugs can be trivially resolved [1].

Feel free to contact me for CMake debugging assistance if your package is one of the few unlucky ones. And many thanks to everyone who fixed their packages already!


Cheers
Timo

TL;DR: Bump version in cmake_minimum_required() or pass -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 via dh_auto_configure.
