If there are customisations then they will need to be ported over. Upgrade instructions are in the request-tracker5 package, and the description notes that it can be installed simultaneously with request-tracker4. I have followed the format used previously in bookworm[0]. But we could add something like "Instructions on how to upgrade are in the request-tracker5 package, which can be installed simultaneously."

Is there a reason that request-tracker4 was not made a transiitional package depending on request-tracker5? (if the answer is that something is incompatible, we should say what and, ideally, link to how to migrate data etc)

Package: release-notes Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Hey, request-tracker4 and extensions targetting RT4 won't be in trixie. They are replaced by request-tracker5. Can we please include words like the below in the "Noteworthy obsolete packages" section: request-tracker4 has been removed from trixie. Its replacement is request-tracker5. Cheers, Andrew
