Even though the trixie freeze dates haven’t yet been announced, this past month my focus began to shift to preparing for the upcoming trixie release.

One significant change is that trixie will be the last version of Debian to include LXD. This has been the plan for the past year, but at the end of the month I filed a release-notes bug and CC’ed d-devel for broader awareness. After upgrading to trixie, users are encouraged to migrate their LXD servers to Incus.

Also in the trixie release vein, the 6.0.3 LTS releases of lxc/lxcfs/incus were released and uploaded to unstable. It’s very likely that this will be the version to ship with trixie.

Highlights

• New 6.0.3 LTS releases of lxc, lxcfs, and incus uploaded to unstable
  • Backported version of incus for bookworm also updated to the 6.0.3 LTS release
• Prepared some packaging updates for LXD
  • Fixes for bugs #1078628 and #1089935
  • Cherry-picked some fixes from incus for QEMU 9.x
• OpenRCT2 v0.4.17 was uploaded to unstable and bookworm-backports
