Hi Justin, Thanks for bringing this up. On 30-01-2023 17:05, Justin B Rye wrote:
a) Doing a combined dist-upgrade and usrmerge is so reliable that everybody should simply do it this way (thus using the latest usrmerge).
That's what I think has to be the case. So unless we are aware of issues we can't solve, I'd say this is my baseline. I don't want to release knowing that this is not OK. Proponents of the merge have been saying that Ubuntu didn't receive bugs years ago when they did their merge and usrmerge got better since then.
Whatever advice we end up giving, the same section could also mention the detail that if you don't want all of usrmerge's dependencies installed - not that there are many - you can replace it with the special dummy package usr-is-merged on bookworm.
*After* the merge (and I'm pretty sure that without the merge, usr-is-merged fails to install). Not merging is no longer supported.
