<p>There's also a 2 business days phase after the motion has been
initiated before declaring it passed, which will lead to us after
the week end, so if someone finds something critical enough, that
can still be taken into account. Hard to know if people will test
or not, and how much time they need. <br>

<p>| Like several recent gdal versions on other recent Ubuntu
releases,
it complains about setup.py
</p>
<p>yeah... Someone brave enough might try to switch the build
process to use pip install. But that'd definitely require changing
some development workflows.<br>

I haven't really tried to run the test suite since the switch
<br>
to cmake, but the current errors suggest that the suite is
<br>
not ready for someone as inexperienced with it as me to use
<br>
it to pass or fail the latest release on this platform.

<p>Proper test execution requires the pytest.ini file to be
generated, which is a CMake generated artifact. The error messages
you pasted inline are clearly related to that (pytest tries to run
some python files that aren't designed to be run as tests, and
might require h5py which is normally not needed for only test
excutions). I suspect the ones in the attached file might also be
due to that. So if using the release tarballs, you need to
untar/unzip gdal-autotest-3.9.1 in a subdirectory of gdal-3.9.1
and make sure that subdirectory is called "autotest" (to get the
same organization as the git tree). Then from the build directory,
you can run ctest.<br>
