I will also point out that we likely won't be raising the cmake version in the coming years after this. At the same time, debian 13 will release sometime mid-2025? with a newer cmake version. So maybe half a year of using a non-stable easily-acquirable cmake for development work isn't too much to ask? -- Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
