Dear maintainer,

your package has an autopkgtest regression with CMake 3.31. CMake has
deprecated backwards compatibility for versions earlier than 3.10,
which causes cmake_minimum_required() and/or cmake_policy() to emit a
warning on stderr, thereby causing your autopkgtest to fail. The
tests should be unaffected otherwise.

To avoid this warning from cmake_minimum_required() you have two
options:

1. Bump the minimum required version to at least 3.10. For reference,
the CMake version in oldstable is 3.18 and in oldoldstable is 3.13.

2. Add a maximum version with the ... operator. For example, instead
of cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7) use
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7...3.31).

In either case, please verify that the requested policy profile is
compatible with your package. This is very likely the case you have a
non-trivial autopkgtest which passes after the change.

Hi,

I see:

"Marked for autoremoval on 02 January due to coin3
<https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/coin3>: #1087859
<https://bugs.debian.org/1087859> high

Version 0.21.2+dfsg1-6 of freecad is marked for autoremoval from testing
on Thu 02 Jan 2025. It depends (transitively) on coin3
<https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/coin3>, affected by #1087859
<https://bugs.debian.org/1087859>. You should try to prevent the removal
by fixing these RC bugs."

on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/freecad

Will this be fixed before that deadline?

With the upload of version 4.0.2+ds-3 ignoring output from stderr in
the autopkgtest scripts, the tests pass again.

Should this issue be closed, or is there more needed to work well with
future cmake versions?

(seems this message didn't went through yesterday, resending)

I've just uploaded a version with allow-stderr in autopkgtest.
While the cmake issue should be adressesd, possibly upstream, this will
make this bug non RC.
