To continue to support multi-tenancy, I am sure that at least the following 
code needs to 
be modified, but I am not sure how.

https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/redmine/-/blob/master/config/initializers/10-patches.rb?ref_type=heads#L139-145

This code was added with the 6.0 release, which added a dependency on 
Propshaft.  It 
needs to be updated to deal with each instance.

At this point I see two ways forward.

1.  Someone who understands the multi-tenancy code can look at adapting the 
patch to 
work with the 6.x series.  Hopefully this person can either continue to 
maintain the multi-
tenancy patch going forward or teach me enough about it so that I can do so.  I 
have 
included the people who signed off on the multi-tenancy patch to see if any of 
them are 
interested.

2.  We remove multi-tenancy support from the package.  Although I really like 
the idea of 
the multi-tenancy feature, I don’t like making changes to Debian packages that 
diverge 
this much from upstream, precisely because they are hard to maintain.  However, 
now that 
we have been shipping this multi-tenancy code, I really don’t like removing it 
because it 
will break some current installations.

However, if nobody is able to update the multi-tenancy patch to support the 6.x 
release, I 
think our only option is to remove the whole patch and related code so that we 
can ship 
Redmine in trixie.  I have started the work of removing the code, but it is 
fairly complicated 
and spread across a number of files, including debian/redmine.postinst and 
debian/rules.  
My goal would be to migrate the default instance to the standard Redmine file 
locations 
and include a NEWS entry explaining that if anyone is running any other 
instances they 
will need to migrate them to a distinct OS running a separate copy of Redmine.  
However, 
there is a high chance this automatic migration will fail in some cases I don’t 
anticipate, so 
I foresee a lot of pain with going down this route.
