[Gluster-users] Debian: upgrade from bookworm to trixie

[Ingo Fischer]

I had the same questions and basically because of the fact that RedHeat 
moved their resources out of the project the progress seems slower, but 
if you check GitHub there is some.

In https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs is also a 11.2 release including 
Trixie.
The problem is that the people seem not having access to the original 
webpage and/or Package repo right now so these can not be updated.

So I also have still the question what to use and how for Debian 13 and 
if the "latest official packages" from 2 years ago are making sense or 
are working.
But when I see https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/4607 it seems 
like they have issues (but can be workaround).

General "where are packaged and how" discussion is in 
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/4599

The discussions about 11.x in 
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/discussions/4587 and 
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/discussions/4606 are also not 
having too many information ...

I would be happy about info on "is 11.x working good in production" in 
general ... and then yes next step also about Trixie :-)
