Please provide packages for Debian Trixie

Debian 13 Trixie is entering the home stretch for release.
We are starting broader testing of Debian Trixie systems and it would be nice to have matching packages in the CVMFS apt repo without redirecting to the Bookworm packages.

Sure! We are actually finalising 2.13, so I’d just add Trixie there. Packages should be available beginning of next week at the latest

Hi @christo ,

I’m having some issues building in the debian 13 aarch64 container. The x86_64 build as well as the debian 12 aarch64 are ok, so I suspect it’s an issue with the upstream container image.

Are amd64 package enough for your testing?

Nevermind, I think I fixed it in Fix install error in debian 13 by vvolkl · Pull Request #3838 · cvmfs/cvmfs · GitHub - although I’m still puzzled why I didn’t see that on x86_64

Oh, it’s because on amd64 I was building on 12 by accident. Rebuilding now, packages should be available soon.

OK, should be fixed. You can test now, just two notes:

the cvmfs-release package isn’t updated for debian 13 yet. You should manually set the sources.list.d/cernvm.list to:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cernvm.sources
Types: deb
URIs: http://cvmrepo.s3.cern.ch/cvmrepo/apt/
Suites: trixie-testing
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/cernvm.gpg

an install cernvm.gpg from cvmfs/packaging/debian/cernvm.gpg at devel · cvmfs/cvmfs · GitHub

The cvmfs-config package is also not in the repository yet, install from

https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-config/cvmfs-config-default_latest_all.deb

Hi @vavolkl
with a little manual intervention to install cvmfs-config-default the Trixie package installs fine from the cvmfsrepo with apt and works as expected in our CI tests.
Many thanks
Christopher

Good to hear. I’ll update here when I get around to adding the cvmfs-config package and updating cvmfs-release
