The sourceforge location is the true Trixie link for the moment. It prob is taking time to replicate around the world.

INFO Only
Devuan has released rc-2 a few days ago.
I downloaded , installed, tested and then changed to cinnamon.
Everything ( on my laptop ) works just fine.
So, I suppose you won't have issues !
See you

The question was for Peppermint, obviously, not Debian. It was previously rumored that this update would break PepHub, and here it was mentioned that there was a GUI update "script." What happened to that?
"Also in tandem to this script we have tested a GUI upgrade tool for users who would rather not attempt a manual upgrade, again, there a minor bug to overcome. Once we solve this issue we will notify all members.
You can either wait for the GUI upgrade tool, or do a manual upgrade, then wait the repair script to fix the Welcome screen and Pephub. The choice is yours."
You are correct there was some talk about making a GUI upgrade tool.. However since the a lot of the PepTools were merged into the user profile, That means that the Debian upgrade method is the same approach you would take with peppermint.
If you are asking for the official method to upgrade Peppermint Debian base to trixie
It is the same approach as this https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade
Hope that helps

What is the address and name of the new apt package repository?
I tried to make an upgrade and when I changed the repos from "bookworm" to "trixie" this worked out for Debian only - apparently there is no release under this address for PeppermintOS. I guess the name of the repo has been changed for the new release?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thank a lot for your answer.
But where are the PeppermintOS specific files / background images / configurations stored? And how they can be upgraded?
Are the Peppermint packages now stored in the official Debian Trixie repositories?
Sorry I am a bit puzzled.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks a lot for your answer! That clarifies things a bit, for me.
So basically I can disable the old PeppermintOS apt repository (bookworm) and upgrade Debian to Trixie.
Later on I can still pull the new wallpaper / theme (if any).
So if I understand correctly, there is not even a (new) Peppermint meta .dep-package that pulls in all dependencies of a minimal (PeppermintOS)-style-desktop?
If you find the time to post a tutorial about howto upgrade, that would certainly be appreciated. Thanks a lot!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I followed the Debian wiki for the full-upgrade from Debain 12 "bookworm" to 13 "trixie".
Things worked fine, I have the new kernel, xfce, ... not broken packages.
However the information about the distribution is not updated: lsb_release -a says Codename: bookworm and cat /etc/os-release says VERSION_CODENAME="bookworm"
This information is wrong - since, after the upgrade I am running "trixie".
Is the release information set by PeppermintOS itself?
Is there a way to change this information to respect the newer Debian-version that I use in the .source files?

I downloaded flagship testing and it is working sweet as a bell, so I don`t need to download Flagship Trixie Base release. Is that right? Just update as per normal. Thanks

I wanted to know if there is or will be a way to upgrade from "Bookworm" to "Trixie", like LMDE 6 to 7 (with "mint upgrade" tool or similar)

hmmm generally you would follow the same process here.

Hope that helps

Ok for the Debian part, but how to deal with the Peppermint repository?
Just move the repo out
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
There is not many packages in there. Mostly it is used for, desktop wallpaper packages, and icons... nothing that will break your system
Hope that helps

That is correct, for this release we did not host any peppermint specific trixie repos.
Hope that helps
Thank a lot for your answer.
But where are the PeppermintOS specific files / background images / configurations stored? And how they can be upgraded?

Sorry I am a bit puzzled.
The only things that are specific to Peppermint are the wallpapers.
here:
https://codeberg.org/Peppermint_OS/PepWallPaper
Then the peptools which was never in the repos anyway .
Those files be be found in bubbles..
here:
https://codeberg.org/Peppermint_OS/bubbles/src/branch/main/iso_configs
The things is with the structural changes in trixie... The peptools will need to be corrected...all other things should be fine after the upgrade.,
I can write you a tutorial on what you need to do after you upgrade for the peptools...
Will try to do that for you in the few days..

Thanks for the link--will be useful, as I have screwed up once already because I let my fingers run faster than my brain :-) :-)
Been happily using Peppermint OS Bullseye for two and a half years, I bypassed Bookworm, but now I'll be updating to Peppermint OS Trixie.
Hi Guys,
I downloaded flagship testing and it is working sweet as a bell, so I don`t need to download Flagship Trixie Base release. Is that right? Just update as per normal. Thanks
