Hey,

quick update on 6.x.

There are currently some cleanups and reorganization happening in Knot
Resolver master, such as:

- https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/-/merge_requests/1577
- https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/-/merge_requests/1598

These are going to change locations of various things so it's better to wait
for those with experimental packaging.

After these cleanups are complete, I plan go one more round of upstream Debian
packaging cleanup before 6.0.9 release and then I'd like to release Debian
experimental package.

Furthermore, quite a few users of our upstream repos at
https://pkg.labs.nic.cz reported various issues when with upgrading to v6
packages that weren't renamed to knot-resolver6.

These proved that it's desired for users to rename v6 packages to
knot-resolver6* - that's already done upstream with 6.0.8 and I intend to use
the 6 postfix for Debian trixie as well unless someone provides convincing
reasons not to.

I'd leave the source package (and salsa repo) name at knot-resolver, but
binary packages will be knot-resolver6, knot-resolver6-module-http, etc.
At least for the time being, hopefully returning to knot-resolver eventually
in the future.

There is sadly no upgrade path from v5 to v6, thus the packages must not share
same names. It's not acceptable for a Debian package to break on dist-upgrade.


Cheers,
Jakub Ružička
