Package: release-notes Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-c...@debian.org
Hi, We don't support skip-upgrades, but in practice they can often be made to work by an experienced administrator. For trixie, though, packages are going to be allowed to assume merged-/usr, and the ongoing work to resolve the outstanding problems around merged-/usr and dpkg is going to concentrate on making sure all bookworm-trixie upgrades will work. But changes that could result in file loss on a bullseye-trixie skip-upgrade will not be considered bugs, so it would be good to particularly emphasise in the trixie release notes that skip-upgrades to it are not supported, and that in all circumstances administrators must upgrade to bookworm first. Thanks, Matthew ps: on a procedular note, whilst I'm filing this bug as an action from a technical committee meeting, this is not a formal TC request.
