I am confused by above posts from folks I thought took lead with regards to PureOS.
Is it still an open question _if_ we want PureOS green to track Debian Buster, and that is what we discuss in this email thread?
Or is that already decided and instead the topic now is _how_ (leading to _when_ it is adequately done that it can be announced)?
Those seems very different email topics to me.
Indeed. As a matter of fact, PureOS green is already tracking bullseye at the moment. If we want a version of PureOS based on Debian stable, that would have to be a new suite, otherwise we would throw all of our users out of security support immediately.
Why? Buster has security support as well.
There is also the problem of us having advertised PureOS as (semi) rolling so far,
I think that we can work with marketing to positively describe the situation. Stability is clearly a more important goal than a rolling release (at least in the internal conversations I've had.)
and the PureOS team being completely unable to handle any enterprise stuff with its current manpower.
I don't understand this. We already do this with Green - why can't we continue?
We can just about support development of one suite, handling fixes and security support for two would be really really hard.
Surely not impossible though?

Jeremiah

P.S: I made a "stale" suite fork of the "green" PureOS suite, so we have a stable-ish point of reference to use, in case we go with having a suite that tracks stable (as green is accumulating packages from Debian testing already). _______________________________________________ PureOS-project mailing list PureOS-project@lists.puri.sm https://lists.puri.sm/listinfo/pureos-project
