I don't know where you got that from. A Release gets a *number*. (The number that might be given to trixie will depend on how superstitious the Debian release team is.) It's legitimate to talk about, say, features that might be retained in bookworm, but dropped by trixie. That's what the codenames are for. > > Any debugging tips? > > it does not take that much space to set up a separate > partition for stable on a system to keep a working version > available and for comparison. this is what i do. Ditto, except that typically mine are stable and oldstable. Since a fortnight ago, they've become oldstable and oldoldstable. See? Rather ambiguous. (They're buster and stretch.) To interpret "testing" in an arbitrary post, I have to consult my file listing the release dates of Debian suites. 0.01 1993-08 0.90 1993-12 0.91 1994-01 0.93R5 1995-03 0.93R6 1995-10-26 1.0 unreleased buzz 1.1 1996-06-17 rex 1.2 1996-12-12 bo 1.3 1997-07-02/-06-05 hamm 2.0 1998-07-24 slink 2.1 1999-03-09 potato 2.2 2000-08-15 woody 3.0 2002-07-19 sarge 3.1 2005-06-06 etch 4.0 2007-04-08 lenny 5.0 2009-02-14 squeeze 6.0 2011-02-06 wheezy 7 2013-05-04 jessie 8 2015-04-25 stretch 9 2017-06-17 buster 10 2019-07-06 bullseye 11 2021-08-14 bookworm trixie sid (when woody started) Cheers, David.
