(here, I chose to activate conda environment on demand: please adapt the instructions to your installation)
The following package list corresponds to the building environment, but you can adjust the list
(at least the above list):

A major update of Joomla was necessary, as the previous version was no longer maintained.
This update involved many other changes, such as the Joomla template, and the download system.
WARNING: This had very little impact on users. Nevertheless, the paths used to download example files in automatic tests have changed, so if you run ctest with one of the binaries built on or before September 19, 2023, some tests will fail. You'll need to download the example files manually for these tests to work.
The September 19, 2023 version of the Linux64 Anaconda 3 binary is available here.
