Hi Daniel,

releasing 6.0 tomorrow sounds good to me.

Regarding the package building with the cmake infrastructure: I think for RPM based distributions we are probably close, for Debian based distributions there seems to be more work open as discussed in the different GitHub issues.

Packages for 6.0 could be created with the old Makefile system, sure.

But we should remove the Makefiles in git master for release 6.1 then completely, just to finish the migration. The really old releases (Ubuntu 16.04) with a too old cmake will be in 2026 then also end of life, so it should be fine.

Cheers,

Henning
