Debian “forky” Release Information
The code name for the next major Debian release after
trixie
is
forky
This release started as a copy of trixie, and is currently in a state
called
testing
This means that things should not break as badly as in unstable or
experimental distributions, because packages are allowed to enter this
distribution only after a certain period of time has passed, and when they
don't have any release-critical bugs filed against them.
Please note that security updates for
testing
distribution are
not
yet managed by the security team. Hence,
testing
does
not
get security updates in a timely manner.
You are encouraged to switch your
sources.list entries from testing to trixie for the time being if you
need security support. See also the entry in the
Security Team's FAQ
for
the
testing
distribution.
There may be a
draft of the release notes available
Please also
check the
proposed additions to the release notes
For installation images and documentation about how to install
testing
see
the Debian-Installer page
To find out more about how the
testing
distribution works, check
the developers' information about it
People often ask if there is a single release
progress meter
Unfortunately there isn't one, but we can refer you to several places
that describe things needed to be dealt with for the release to happen:
Generic release status page
Release-critical bugs
Base system bugs
Bugs in standard and task packages
In addition, general status reports are posted by the release manager
to the
debian-devel-announce mailing list
