sure, let's find out! wouldn't this be simply a matter of pinning adequate to
testing/unstable? or even easier, you could just copy the adequate executable
from unstable to a bookworm instance (since adequate's only versioned dependency
is libc6 (>= 2.34) and latest stable ships 2.36
Paul Wise runs a test instance that has made adequate hit a limit at some point
(not specific to the rewrite, see #1077704), but I've no idea of how many
packages he had installed
slightly tangential: I'm somewhat surprised that piuparts.d.o would run
adequate/stable. that might have made sense with an unmaintained adequate, but
I've added three new checks since the rewrite and it'd make no sense to have to
wait for a stable releases to use them (yes, I also owe you a patch to update
the hardwired list of adequate tags in piuparts; I've been holding back because
every single message from you on adequate comes across as bitter)
thanks,
serafi
ps. happy to also have a phone/video call if that would help us work better
together
