Hello,
I was wondering if there is a correct way to test the coming Debian 11 release.
Fedora for example has something called 'Testing days' for a coming kernel update, and you can run a simple script with 'sudo ./runtests.sh' and get results that get uploaded.
So, I was wondering if Debian has similar tools, or if it is enough to poke around with testing/unstable (I already reported a few bugs).
Thanks

Re: Testing Bullseye for begginers.
Tell me more about these "bugs" you've found in testing/unstable that by their very nature are expected to have problems.So, I was wondering if Debian has similar tools, or if it is enough to poke around with testing/unstable (I already reported a few bugs).
I've been using unstable for ~20 years and I've never noticed any problems.
Of course if you insist on using that little black box instead of Synaptic, well...who...knows
You can try a 'live' system that you don't have to install to check for all those bugs.
There's no drama in my sid......

Hello, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not complaining about anythingarid wrote:testing/unstable that by their very nature are expected to have problems.
I want to help testing the upcoming Bullseye release. And was wondering if the recommended way is to simply poke around a Testing/Unstable install. Or if debian has some tools/scripts to test the upcoming changes. I DO want to find and squash some bugs if there are bugs of course.
To answer your question I found some minor bugs like duplicate systray icons, and segfaults. Along with specific hardware and linux kernel/firmware minor issues.

There have been bug bashing parties, but I think they were only for devs.
