- Final release R14.0.11 is planned for the end of October 2021. So here
comes the primary question whether this is acceptable soon for you so that you could switch to PSB repository until then? After release R14.0.11 switching from PSB to stable will be simple - just make a change URL in "sources.list".
- If it seems too late, there is a question whether it seems like a good
idea to consider build R14.0.10 packages when Bullseye will be finally released?
- Here, the way would be to "mix the version of distribution". The key
package that causes a conflict when using Buster packages in Bullseye is the "libr0" package, which requires a specific version of the binutils. Because this package is very separate, you would be able to manually install this package for Bullseye from PSB. Unfortunately, there are several other conflicts (libilmbase23, libopenexr23) that require some other packages (tdelibs and some tdebase packages) for Bullsey from PSB. Some other conflicts can occur for some other packages - such as Kaffeine. So this way seems too complicated and with an uncertain result.
So now it is essential, what your opinion is for question 1.
Thank you Slávek. This helps enormously with planning.
For now I'm just going to have PSB on a VPS to keep an eye on compatability issues. In addition to Bullseye and TDE R14.0.11 I need to figure out how much hassle the jump from Clang 7 to Clang 11 is going to cause. So the end of October looks like a good date for me to aim for.
