Greets, everybody.
It's been more than a week since I seriously broke anything, and of course that cannot stand, so I thought I'd upgrade to Debian Trixie a/k/a testing. Which I would do forthwith if and only if there is some version of TDE that rns or is likely to run on it.
Is there?

And of course in much the way it takes passage through a printing press to make typos obvious, within 90 seconds of sending the above I had found that thereapparently is. I'm already running the preliminary stable build, so all I'll need to so is change from bookworm to testing in the appropriate line in /etc/sources.list, right?

I have these 2 lines on my devuan testing, which results in TDE 14.2 dev:
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-testing ceres main deps extra deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-testing ceres main deps extra
The only problem is that libpoppler mistakes some unencrypted PDFs as encrypted and breakes to show them.

I've been running the almost-soup TDE. I'm perfectly willing to run the not-soup-yet version, but for that to do one any good I'd need to have a sense of what log files to maintain to report anything that breaks. What is useful in making a good bug report? (The automatic reporting system here has never to my knowledge worked at all.)
Also, on Debian itself instead of "testing" I can use "trixie." Is that true of TDE as well? I don't mean as in trinity-testing, but in terms of the target, ie. trixie instead of bookworm.

And again, my experiment answers the question. I don't know if it is at TDE or at Debian that "trixie" and "testing" appear to be linked, but yes, "trixie" works.

If you take the TDE URL from your sources.list and click into the dists folder you can see the supported distros for that version of TDE:
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing/dists/
At the filesystem level on the mirrors, stable and bookworm or testing and trixie or unstable and sid are each implemented by a simple symlink.

Good to know. The advantage to using "trixie" as opposed to "testing" is, it seems to me, to be that when Trixie finally goes GA I won't automagically be dumped into whatever comes next. I'd like to give it a little time to steep first.
Not that it's an issue anytime soon -- Bookrown has been out for only 15 months.
