Hello community!
Could you please share with me, or point me to, a howto or receipt for
applying all upgrades to future kernel 6.12.x versions to appear in Bookworm
Backports when doing "apt update && apt upgrade", but to not leave the 6.12
(upstream LTS) branch and not upgrade to some higher kernel version like
6.13 when they would also become available in backports?
Thanks a lot in advance! Talby.
Hi
It is very likely that Debian will stick with 6.12 thoughout the lifetime
of Debian Trixie / Debian 13 so you should be fine. Since 6.12 is the LTS
version, it's unlikely that we'll move forward from it (though I'm not
the Release Team).
Hope this helps,

I am on current "stable" Bookworm (Debian 12) and would like to stay
with it until Debian 13 is released as the new "stable", but I would
like to already now take advantage of some features coming with kernel 6.12.
That's why I wonder on how to best catch the upgrades for 6.12, if some
would become available. Watching how kernel versions usually appear in
backports I am of good hope to find future 6.12.x versions to appear
there. The kernel backport team is doing a great job, my special thanks
to them!
Then, when Trixie is officially out and most likely coming with 6.12, my
upgrade from Bookworm with backports kernel 6.12 to Trixie with kernel
6.12 should be less of trouble than having my Bookworm with a backports
kernel already being some 6.13 (or even higher) version.
