 when running cmake, I get this warning and error:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.10 will be removed from a future version of
  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.

Is this repository actually maintained? I'll try to fix it and make a PR.

Please don't create pull requests in GitHub mirror repositories. https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdev-executebrowser is semi-maintained. But the plugin has not been ported to KF6 yet. Feel free to port and create a merge request.

Note: kdev-python, kdev-php and kdev-valgrind have been ported to KDevPlatform 6.0 in one merge request each. kdev-valgrind is the most relevant example for CMake file changes because, unlike the other two plugins, it is not part of KDE Gear.
Comment 2 santilin 2025-12-22 08:18:48 UTC 
I have upgraded to KF6. 

How do I proceed to make the PR?

Should a new branch be created for the KF6 Series, or a tag, or a release?
