Run make build-backend error: Error: 'zcml' dict setting is removed in 2.0

I want to add a plone add-on, but run make build-backend got errors:

Error: 'zcml' dict setting is removed in 2.0, use 'zcml_' prefix variables instead!

Ubuntu 22.04,Plone 6.0.9 works ok.

Thank you, it's work now.

The proper fix is updating your instance.yaml file.

    default_context:
    initial_user_name: 'admin'
    initial_user_password: 'admin'
    zcml_package_includes: <your project name written in load profiles>

    db_storage: direct

Find the cookiecutter call in the Makefile and pin the version of cookiecutter-zope-instance to 1.0.1.

cookiecutter --checkout 1.0.1 [... other options here ...] cookiecutter-zope-instance

Or update the instance.yaml as mentioned above. Anyway, I recommend pinning versions and not depend on the main branch of any project.

yes, you're right. Thanks!

Thank you! make build-backend work now.

I'm also installed plone6.0.10.1 successful, because cookiecutter gh:collective/cookiecutter-plone-starter can create right instance.yaml now.
