I've decided for an up2date english src:dev-ref for bullseye, shipped in bullseye, and for future updated and better translated src:dev-ref there's unstable and bookworm :) -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ Nach wieviel Einzelfällen wird ein Einzelfall zum Normalfall?
