Source: installation-guide Version: 20200715 Severity: normal Usertags: compat-5-6-removal
Hi, The package installation-guide uses debhelper with a compat level of 5 or 6, which is deprecated and scheduled for removal[1]. Please bump the debhelper compat at your earliest convenience /outside the freeze/! * Compat 13 is recommended (supported in stable-backports) * Compat 7 is the bare minimum PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT the release team *DOES NOT* accept uploads with compat bumps during the freeze. If there is any risk that the fix for this bug might not migrate to testing before 2021-01-01[3] then please postpone the fix until after the freeze. At the time of filing this bug, compat 5 and 6 are expected to be removed "some time during the development cycle of bookworm". Thanks, ~Niels [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/07/msg00065.html [2] https://release.debian.org/bullseye/FAQ.html [3] The choice of 2021-01-01 as a "deadline" is set before the actual freeze deadline to provide a safe cut off point for most people. Mind you, it is still your responsibility to ensure that the upload makes it into testing even if you upload before that date.
