> Debian 12, codenamed Bookworm, is set to release next Saturday (June 10) but despite its reputation for being rock solid, it could ship with up to 100 bugs. Paul Gevers from the Debian project mentioned the number of known bugs in the Debian mailing list but said the release was still going ahead regardless.

> Gevers said that it’s likely even more bugs will be found once Debian 12 has been installed on more computers after release and these issues shall have to be patched afterwards and deployed as an update. He said that the bugs will be listed in the Release Notes, so if stability is critical for you, consult the Release Notes to check you won’t be affected.

Bits from the Release Team: bookworm nearly ready for release

> According to plan [1], we entered the quiet period leading up to the release of bookworm on 2023-06-10. We have even managed unblock requests filled well beyond the deadline and even unblocked a couple of packages with RC bugs fixed but without a request to make bookworm the best we can have.

UPDATE

In The Register:

Debian 12 is nearly ready, and reassuringly boring • The Register

> Debian 12 "Bookworm" should arrive in a little over a week from now, with a raft of updated components – and no nasty surprises.

> Debian 12, code-named Bookworm after one of the more obscure Toy Story characters, is scheduled for release on June 10. The developers have put out Release Candidate 4 of the new version's installation medium, and it seems to be working pretty well, so at this point there shouldn't be any big changes before the ship date.

> Generally, around the time that a new Linux distribution ships, we try to do a preview story which highlights some of the exciting new features in the forthcoming version. Unfortunately for us, that approach doesn't work so well for Debian, because "exciting" is not really what Debian does.
