CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.
Update the VERSION argument <min> value. Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.
Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

Build finished at 2025-08-30T11:17:30Z
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here (for the next 30 days):
https://debusine.debian.net/artifact/2406028/
The most likely cause of build failures is the removed backwards compatibility
for
CMake versions earlier than 3.5. You can find additional information in my
debian-devel announcement:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/04/msg00310.html
About the archive rebuild: The build was made on debusine.debian.net,
using sbuild.
You can find the build task here:
https://debusine.debian.net/work-request/154320/
If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web
page for this package.
Thanks,
Timo
