Hi all,
=== trixie Transition and Toolchain freeze ===
We're pleased to announce that the freeze for Debian 13 'trixie' has
begun. On March 15th we stopped accepting transition requests and we are
working to complete the transitions in progress. We ask the maintainers
of packages that are part of the toolchain to stop uploading those
packages [1] without prior approval from us. We remind everybody to stop
uploading large or disruptive changes to unstable, from here on
experimental is the place to do that.
Further details of the freeze are available in the freeze policy [2].
* 2025-04-15 - Milestone 2 - Soft Freeze
no new packages, delayed migration
* 2025-05-15 - Milestone 3 - Hard Freeze - key packages and packages
without autopkgtests need a manual unblock for migration
* TBA - Milestone 4 - Full Freeze
all packages need a manual unblock for migration
=== RC bugs ===
The current list of Release Critical bugs for trixie [3] is
progressively looking better. Thanks to everybody who is helping
out. That said, we're not there yet, ideally the number of RC bugs goes
down to zero. And autoremoval has done it's job, there's a large set of
packages that are currently *not* in trixie, so this is your last chance
to bring them back.
https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/ There's one planned for the end of April.
=== release notes ===
We like to draw your attention to the release notes. We have hardly
received any proposals (or even ideas), don't forget to file things
worth mentioning against the release-notes pseudo package in the bts or
prepare your MR on salsa [4]. The release notes editors will be helping
you to shape the text, so don't be shy and submit those rough ideas
already.
=== testing upgrades ===
If you are in the position to already upgrade some hosts from bookworm
to trixie, we like to hear from you if you run into issues. If you
don't know which package is to blame, please don't be shy and report it
against the upgrade-reports pseudo package and people following that
package will try and help find the right package (help wanted for the
triaging).
=== your packages ===
Please take this opportunity to check packages are in their final shape
and stay vigilant for release-critical bugs.
On behalf of the Release Team,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I used the release notes to upgrade a bookworm system to a trixie system. I
like the new layout of the release notes, thanks for the layout upgrade :-)

Overall it went very well, for the only real issue I run into, I filed a bug
report:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1102994

I am not a Debian developer, therefore I cannot create a pull request for fixes
in the release notes myself, for the two minor issues I found:

At least some versions mentioned on

https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/whats-new.en.html

are not updated, e.g. for Plasma, Libreoffice and gnucash (I guess applies for
the others as well). The table seems to be at least partially updated (e.g.
gimp).

I think, this section does not apply anymore if upgrading from bookworm

https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/upgrading.en.html#the-non-free-and-non-free-firmware-components

Thanks for preparing an outstanding trixie release, I like it a lot :-)

Rainer

You absolutely can. One does *not* need to be a Debian Developer to send
patches to the Debian BTS, or to create merge requests on salsa.
