Debian 13 (Trixie) test images

[reneleonhardt]

When will golang:trixie images be build to test compatibility before potential issues can't be raised anymore for the Full Freeze?

Similar to docker-library/python#1042 (comment), I'd be open to a draft PR, but not publishing/maintaining builds until GA.

It's going to be released on 9th August: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTrixie

[reneleonhardt]

In other words, there will be no release candidates to check compatibility before GA...

Full freeze is just 3 days away. That can be considered an RC.

[reneleonhardt]

Sure, and full freeze means that you can't change anything anymore instead of stop-the-world bugfixes in case you have a more or less minor problem with the RC... why not just use the soft-freeze for feedback?
What is the harm in providing test images for the community so they can check real workloads / builds themselves?

I've now opened #564 as discussed/described above.

docker buildx build --pull https://github.com/docker-library/golang.git#refs/pull/564/merge:1.24/trixie --tag golang:1.24-trixie

[jryberg]

It's now GA

[reneleonhardt]

Lessons learned, there will never be test images for the community so they can't check if the new compiler and libraries still work as expected.

If you'd like to get a head start testing Debian Forky, it's pretty easy to build, and even to do so without changing any Dockerfile directly by hand:

docker buildx build --pull https://github.com/docker-library/golang.git#:1.25/trixie --build-context buildpack-deps:trixie-scm=docker-image://buildpack-deps:forky-scm --tag golang:1.25-forky
