Package: docker.io Version: 26.1.5+dfsg1-4+b2 Looking ahead to the trixie release later this year, the version of docker.io (and docker-cli etc.) currently in testing seems to be based on a version that may not be maintained upstream?
As far as I can tell Docker Inc. only maintains the latest major version [1], and with Docker Engine and Moby 28.0 released on Feb 20th 2025 [2] , that likely means the 27.x branch is likely to get less attention soon, let alone the 26.x branch which is what it currently in testing and unstable. Upstream has this document which comments on the maintenance status of the various branches: https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/project/BRANCHES-AND-TAGS.md The "Known Distributors" possibly useful when it comes to identifying branches that may get more care and attention? It's not clear how accurate the "currently maintained" table is in terms of maintainers or third parties that are maintaining older branches, but there are none listed for the 26.x branches. While the 28.x series is possibly too new (?) is there any hope that trixie could be updated to the 27.x series ahead of release?
