@gjasny I guess this is the right ticket about missing cmake files in the debian packaging.
not sure if debian would backport a change to include those files into stable, I see where its mentioned debian sid apparently corrects this issue.
The old stable releases used the autotools build system which did not generate the CMake config file. I don’t think that adding the file in stable would be possible.
in order to reduce the load of maintenance, we should consider dropping
cmake/Findc-ares.cmake
if we can detect c-ares in config mode.the c-ares-devel package in fedora 40+ includes the CMake config files:
but unfortunately, the latest debian stable release (bookworm) still does not package them, see https://debian.pkgs.org/12/debian-main-amd64/libc-ares-dev_1.18.1-3_amd64.deb.html . debian sid does, see https://debian.pkgs.org/sid/debian-main-amd64/libc-ares-dev_1.33.1-2_amd64.deb.html .
we can reevaluate the situation once debian creates a new release (13).
