My plan is to pull the BBS down, create a backup even tho I have dailies... and then change all my sources.list (and /sources.list.d/) from 'bullseye' to 'bookworm' - and adding the new debian "non-free-firmware" on the end of all sources... I'll do a minimal

Sounds good, I think!
Good luck with the upgrade!

I'm about to do the upgrade... thanks for reading thru it with me.

With bookworm hitting the market this month, I'm thinking about upgrading the 2oFB VM. It runs Debian 11 bullseye currently, notice that I have a few packages NOT in Debain:
-----
xxx@xxx:~/mystic$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: xxx
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Boot ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Virtualization: kvm
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-23-amd64
Architecture: x86-64
xxx@xxx:~/mystic$ sudo apt list '?narrow(?installed, ?not(?origin(Debian)))' Listing... Done
comcom32/now 20220924-1 amd64 [installed,local] proxmox-backup-client/stable,now 2.4.1-1 amd64 [installed]
rar/now 2:5.5.0-1 amd64 [installed,local]
tailscale-archive-keyring/unknown,now 1.35.181 all [installed,automatic] tailscale/unknown,now 1.44.0 amd64 [installed]
unrar/now 1:5.6.6-1 amd64 [installed,local]
-----
comcom32 is for dosemu and rar is also needed...
I *think* tailscale and proxmox-backup-client will have bookworm packages that I can pull down by editing my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ files for them.

Will comcom32 and rar 'come over' when I upgrade to bookworm?
Has anyone else upgraded their Debian 11 -> 12 on their BBS machine?
Any suggestions?

My plan is to pull the BBS down, create a backup even tho I have dailies... and then change all my sources.list (and /sources.list.d/) from 'bullseye' to 'bookworm' - and adding the new debian "non-free-firmware" on the end of all sources... I'll do a minimal upgrade:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs

After which I'll perform the upgrade and reboot:
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot now

Finally, I'll purge the system:
sudo apt --purge autoremove

Did I miss anything, or do you see me having issues with those packages listed in the commands at the top?

I did the upgrade on my Mystic System and it took well, I did notice on my end because I run VEEAM as a backup agent I needed to update the Veeam Snap also before rebooting into Debian 12.. When I did my VM which runs one of My Image BBS instances, Network transfers broke so I went back to Debian 11 on that one. I am going to build a new VM and see if running a later Nightly of Vice will fix that issue.. Only difference I noticed was my Terminal window which I have Mystic running in was a little bigger.. Otherwise, it runs fine..

Hello paulie420!

With bookworm hitting the market this month, I'm thinking about

I performed an upgrade on my (physical) machine roughly a week ago, and all went well!

rar/now 2:5.5.0-1 amd64 [installed,local]
unrar/now 1:5.6.6-1 amd64 [installed,local]

There are newer versions of these available in bookworm:

rar:amd64/bookworm 2:6.20-0.1 uptodate
unrar:amd64/bookworm 1:6.2.6-1 uptodate

I *think* tailscale and proxmox-backup-client will have bookworm
packages that I can pull down by editing my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
files for them.

Maybe those are from third-party repos?

root@glimmer:~# apt-cache search tailscale
golang-github-tailscale-tscert-dev - Minimal library implementing parts of the Tailscale client API

root@glimmer:~# apt-cache search proxmox
fence-agents - Fence Agents for Red Hat Cluster
python3-proxmoxer - Python Wrapper for the Proxmox 2.x API (HTTP and SSH) (Python 3)

Will comcom32 and rar 'come over' when I upgrade to bookworm?

Unless some package dependencies of those packages cause conflicts, they should remain installed. The RAR packages will get updated (unless some other obsolete packages depend on those exact versions).

My plan is to pull the BBS down, create a backup even tho I have dailies... and then change all my sources.list (and /sources.list.d/)
from 'bullseye' to 'bookworm' - and adding the new debian "non-free-firmware" on the end of all sources... I'll do a minimal

Sounds good, I think!
Good luck with the upgrade!

Best regards
