No official announcement yet, but today’s point release has gone live. I just updated 112 packages.
Debian 12 is my first step into the Debian world. Is it just a matter of sudo apt update/upgrade to receive the release or are there extra steps?
No extra steps, just update as you normally do. The only thing you’ll notice is that more packages are updated. The updates you get between point releases are for security issues and high-impact bugs. Lower priority bug fixes and updates are rolled into the point releases.
If you already using bookworm you will just update as normal. Its just a point release.
Just upgraded my server and laptop today and did a fresh install for a family member. It was mostly smooth sailing. Had a few issues but all are resolved now except for Bluetooth on my laptop… Tomorrow’s problem.
Could you fix it?
Yes I just needed to install an extra firmware package due to the structure of the repositories changing with regards to non-free-firmware. On Debian 11 I was using pulseaudio, so some stuff was removed and replace by their pipewire equivalents during the upgrade to 12 and my BT firmware was now in the firmware-atheros package.
Thanks for following up 😉👍
Woot!
