3 About every 2 years Debian introduces a new release.
4
5 The following notes shall provide a step-by-step-plan for adapting the [[PBA Package Builder + Archiver>>doc:PBA.WebHome]] to a new Debian release and shall make it more efficient for the next Debian.
6
7 The first version of this page was created when Debian [[Buster>>url:https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuster||shape="rect"]] was on it's way from Full Freeze to GA, we were still using {{code language="none"}}svn{{/code}} back then (mostly {{code language="none"}}git{{/code}} now).
8
9 Currently we are in the progress of adapting from [[Bullseye>>url:https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBullseye||shape="rect"]] to [[Bookworm>>url:https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBookworm||shape="rect"]], so this is __WORK IN PROGRESS__ rg. Bookworm.
