Given this is the build of eventview stable/release branch, those items in the 
cmake log are suspicious:
"
 * KF5PimTextEdit (required version >= 5.18.40)
 * KF5IdentityManagement (required version >= 5.18.40)
"
which are indirect dependencies, so something wants the latest development 
version here.

I suspect that KDE Gitlab is currently not really configured to support both 
main/development and stable/release build setups for the pipelines, so it 
might be unclear what is in the build cache and from which branch. (beware, me 
no clue about gitlab CI things)

AFAIK KDE's gitlab CI is currently still in experimental state and so far was 
only targetting KDE Frameworks for test runs, the gitlab CI config files added 
for PIM products was not yet done in collabiration with sysadmin, was it?

Guess we should ask sysadmin to tweak off time to do an official update where 
we are, so we are not in the dark as we seem to be now (and could help to go 
to the light).

So, dear sysadmin :), could you please do a short status update e.g. to the 
community ML, to tell where we are, where things are tracked and who could 
help with what to progress here?
