Deb build-chain is dependent on marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases which is likely to break soon

I did this

Mucked around neck deep in the deb build system actions.

I expected the following

The actions used do not cause errors or warnings during build. Instead the following are emitted:

The following actions uses node12 which is deprecated and will be forced to run on node16: marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases@latest. For more info: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-06-13-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node16-instead-of-node12-by-default/

Warning: The set-output command is deprecated and will be disabled soon. Please upgrade to using Environment Files. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/

GitHub is about to migrate to Node 20. Even if a similar force is made to run older Actions with a newer version, it's possible this one will finally break. And even if it doesn't, probably better to not rely on unmaintained actions.

Any other comments

There's some discussion and helpful tips at marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases#2. I'll test some of the proposals and get a PR going for a working replacement.

Is this still a problem?

Yeah, it is. I'll try and sort that soon.
