no bullseye/sid is <reply> If /etc/debian_version says "bullseye/sid", then you have an out-of-date bullseye installation.

testing sources.list =~ s/bullseye/bookworm/
no testing is <reply>Testing is a continuously updated release between <stable> and <unstable>, currently codenamed <bookworm>. See http://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting . Support in #debian-next on irc.oftc.net; ask me about <testing faq> <bullseye->bookworm> <testing security> <moving target> <apt-listchanges> <apt-listbugs> and <bts>. You need a sound knowledge of Debian and be prepared for a very bumpy ride. Don't use it on things that are critical!

==    https://ircbots.debian.net/factoids/search.php?q=buster&term=value

upgrade =~ s/stretch->buster/buster->bullseye/

dmm bullseye is <reply>If you really need deb-multimedia.org (are you sure your information isn't ten years out of date?), then (as root): echo "deb https://www.deb-multimedia.org/ bullseye main non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dmm.list; apt update && apt install deb-multimedia-keyring && apt update.  For an alternative way to load Marillat's archive key, ask me about <apt-key 1F41B907>. See <why not dmm>.

firefox bullseye is <reply>Debian 11 "Bullseye" currently contains the extended support release (ESR) version Firefox 78. Like previous releases, bullseye will track the ESR release until a new ESR becomes needed for security updates. Ask me about <firefox-esr> <bullseye-security>.

== Factoids with "sid" in the value
==    https://ircbots.debian.net/factoids/search.php?q=sid&term=value


== Create the new testing
==   (a few days after the release!)
== Conventions:
==   - create a factoid for each release that judd will know about;
==     this one will be the main factoid and others will symlink to it

bookworm/updates is <reply>Sorry "bookworm/updates" doesn't exist, just like it doesn't exist for bullseye. The repository was renamed; ask me about <bookworm-security> instead.
bookworm/security is <reply>see bookworm-security
bookworm security is <reply>see bookworm-security
bookworm-security is <reply>see testing-security
bookworm-proposed-updates is <reply> see testing-proposed-updates
bookworm-updates is <reply> bookworm-updates is not used while bookworm is the testing release. Once stable, it will provide updates to some packages (from <proposed-updates>) prior to a <point release>. Not to be confused with <bookworm-security> which is for <security> updates (and also not normally used for 'testing'!).
bookworm-debug is <reply>The "bookworm-debug" archive contains the automatically generated packages with debugging symbols for packages for binary packages in the bookworm release. Ask me about <dbgsym>.
bookworm-backports is <reply>see testing-backports

bookworm/sid mix is <reply>see tum
bookworm/sid is <reply>see testing/unstable
why bookworm/sid is <reply>see testing/unstable

no bookworm sources.list is <reply>A suitable /etc/apt/sources.list for "bookworm" has three lines: "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main" "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm/updates main" "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main".  Note that bookworm does not yet have security support and is a <moving target>. See <deb-src> <contrib> <non-free> <bookworm-security> <bookworm-updates> and "man sources.list"."

no bookworm is <reply>The release following Debian 11 "Bullseye" is codenamed "Bookworm" and will be Debian 12. Bookworm is the librarian in Toy Story 3, a big green worm with a flashlight and keeper of the instruction manuals. It is the current "testing" release. Remember that straight after a stable release, all sorts of mess suddenly lands in "testing" and it is best avoided if you don't like debugging things.

install bookworm is <reply>see install testing.

bullseye->bookworm is <reply>Given bookworm has only just released, it is highly recommended that if you don't know enough about Debian to already know how to do this on your own, that you don't even try. The Debian 'testing' release is really messy straight after the release.

bookworm pool is <reply> See <bookworm pool 1> for bets placed on when bookworm will release.  To add one, ask me about <bookworm bet>.
bookworm bet is <reply> To add a bet to the <bookworm pool>, /msg dpkg bookworm pool 1 =~ s/!/! yournick=yyyy-mm-dd/ and when "bookworm pool 1" is full, create "bookworm pool 2" and update this factoid.
bookworm pool 1 is <reply>! themíll=2023-12-01


== Additional bits
no bullseye is <reply>Bullseye is the codename for the current <stable> release, Debian 11, released 2021-08-14. Bullseye is Woody's horse in Toy Story 2, see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBullseye . Ask me about <install bullseye>, <release notes>, <buster->bullseye> <bullseye-security>.

no bullseye installation guide is <reply> The Installation Guide for Debian 11 "Bullseye" can be found at https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/installmanual . See also <errata> and <bullseye release notes>.

firmware images bullseye is <reply> see firmware images

installer firmware bullseye is <reply>Debian-Installer is able to load  additional <firmware>, by including it within installation media or supplying on removable media (e.g. USB stick, floppy). See https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/ch06s04 . To include firmware within Debian <netboot> images, see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetbootFirmware . See also <firmware images>.

no bullseye sources.list is <reply>A suitable /etc/apt/sources.list for "Bullseye" has three lines: "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main" "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main" "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main".  Note that it is <bullseye-security> and not <bullseye/updates>. See <deb-src> <contrib> <non-free> <bullseye-updates> and "man 5 sources.list".

updates =~ s/<stretch-updates>/<bullseye-updates>/

errata bullseye is <reply>Last minute notes regarding Debian 11 ("bullseye") are listed at https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/errata .  Known problems in the installer are listed at https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/debian-installer/#errata

bullseye errata is <reply>see errata bullseye

no buster->bullseye is <reply>Read (at least) the upgrading chapter of <release notes> https://deb.li/39cyD . TL;DR: In /etc/apt/sources.list change "buster" to "bullseye", fix the line for security updates (see <bullseye-security>), remove stable-specific lines like buster-backports. apt update && apt upgrade && apt full-upgrade. 3rd party repos like <dmo> cause problems with upgrades. If working over ssh, upgrade ssh first, see <bullseye ssh upgrade>.

bullseye ssh upgrade is <reply> The ssh server may be unavailable for an extended period of time during the buster->bullseye upgrade, which would be problematic if your ssh connection is interrupted in the middle of upgrading. If you are upgrading over ssh, you may wish to upgrade the openssh-server package first. See https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#ssh-not-available

bullseye installer is <reply> see install bullseye

no bullseye-updates is <reply>bullseye-updates is a suite providing updates to some packages (from <proposed-updates>) prior to a <point release>. The updates may be important bug fixes or low priority security fixes. All packages from bullseye-updates will be included in point releases. https://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates . Not to be confused with <bullseye-security> which is for <security> updates (<bullseye/updates> was renamed and does not exist).

no bullseye-proposed-updates is <reply> see stable-proposed-updates

no bullseye/updates is <reply> There is no "bullseye/updates" repository for security updates. To reduce confusion with <bullseye-updates> (which is for other bug fixes), security updates are distributed via the <bullseye-security> repository "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main". Note that you may also need to adjust your Default-Release and pinning settings for apt.

no bullseye-security is <reply>On Debian 11 "bullseye" systems, there are two repositories that you should have in your sources.list aside from your main mirror. You should have an entry for "bullseye-security" which is <security> updates (and also "bullseye-updates" which is for <stable-updates>. See also <sources.list>. Note that you may also need to adjust your Default-Release and pinning settings for apt.

no release history is <reply>Named after "Toy Story" characters. Buzz 1.1 1996-03-14, Rex 1.2 1996-10-28, Bo 1.3 1997-05-01, 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. Next: Bookworm. https://deb.li/ilB4R

no release is <reply>Debian 11 "Bookworm" was released on 2021-08-14. It is now considered "stable". Ask me about <install debian>, <buster->bullseye> to upgrade from Debian 10 "Buster". See https://www.debian.org/releases/ or <release history> for other releases. For updates from the Debian Release Team, see https://release.debian.org/

no when will bullseye release is <reply>IT'S OUT!  https://www.debian.org/News/2021/20210814

when will bookworm release is <reply>REALLY!!!1!?one! bullseye only just came out and we need to catch our breath first!

no bullseye bet is <reply> see bullseye pool
no bullseye pool is <reply>The pool about when <buster> would release was won by themíll who not only bet first but was also closest (particularly after he disqualified scorpion2185 for betting twice!). Last place was jélly, which is a disappointing result considering his previous "most improved" award. Ask me about <bullseye pool 1> to see the bets placed.  See also <bookworm pool>.

no oldstable is <reply>OldStable the previous stable version of Debian, as long as it is still supported by the security team. Debian 10 "Buster" is oldstable.  It is recommended to upgrade your systems to the current stable release, ask me about <oldstable->stable>. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOldStable or see <lifespan> <lts>.

bullseye-lts is <reply>It is expected that extended security support for Debian 11 "Bullseye" will be offered by the <LTS> project after the Debian Security Team ceases supporting bullseye in mid 2023. See https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for more information.


forget oldoldstable security
rename 'oldstable security' 'oldoldstable security'
oldstable security is <reply> see stretch security

bobbitt =~ s/Buster/Bullseye/

no point release is <reply>Point releases are updates to <stable> and <oldstable>, fixing security & grave bugs. If you track security updates regularly (as you should!) there will often be no updates for you in a point release. Upgrade by referencing a Debian <mirror> in /etc/apt/sources.list, then "apt update && apt full-upgrade". See <9.13> <10.10> (None for bullseye yet). https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases/PointReleases.


== TODO


=========================================================================
== Notes for whomever makes use of this pad to make changes:

    Don't just copy and paste in large slabs of "forget" or "no" commands -- dpkg will end up ignoring you

    You are limited to 4 or 5 "forget" per day per hostmask -- you can do some on libera.chat and some on oftc. Exceeding this gets you ignored by dpkg for several days. When dpkg says "Stop abusing forget" it means it.

    There is an unknown limit on queries to dpkg in general and exceeding that results in "Too many queries from you, ignoring for 5 minutes." Batch the "rename"s and "no"s into smaller chunks so even if you get ignored, you easily know which ones weren't processed yet.

    Mark the commands that have been applied with #

    If you think of other factoids that need updating, please add them to this document around as a starting point for the Bookworm release editing :)

    A few days after release, check the website for recently changed factoids that have broken xrefs
