Arnaud,
Do you think it would be a good idea to have bookworm-backports suite in
mobian repo and upload these there?
No, our goal with Mobian is to lower the number of packages we maintain
and have those in Debian, so the whole system can benefit from our work
and we can benefit from the Debian infrastructure, such as numerous
mirrors and security updates, among other things.
In this regard, phosh was one of the first packages we could move to
Debian and drop from our repo, I don't see the point in taking a step
backwards, especially as we don't have the resources to ensure we don't
break anything in the process.
Hopefully your main issue will be fixed in g-s-d 46 which is a few
months away and will be uploaded to trixie, so let's just wait and stick
to the known workaround for now.
As for bugs, I think keeping up with new upstream versions would be a
good strategy. If I go with byzantium experience, I'd think you will
support newer versions on crimson, so having bookworm-backports should
be easier to maintain.
Providing new upstream versions in stable-backports *might* be
beneficial to *some*, but as mentioned already in this thread, it
represents a significant workload no one in the Mobian or DebianOnMobile
teams can commit to, especially as there wouldn't be any obvious
problems fixed that way.
Therefore, I fully agree with Guido's analysis above (message #45).
Cheers,
Arnaud
