I was advised a week ago that the app I maintain is not building in unstable as the compiler (fpc) has been updated.
However, Testing still has the 'older' compiler and it builds fine with that. How do I test my build against tools only available in sid ? Background - ----------- tomboy-ng is built using Free Pascal Compiler and Lazarus. Testing has FPC3.2.0 but apparently sid has FPC3.2.2. Obviously, I can get (have already got) FPC direct from its source but I have found the need to test, for Debian, using Debian supplied tools. I obtained my Testing from https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/, its dated 1st November. Should I be using something else ? My fix is trivial, my scripts (stupidly) includes a test that accepts only FPC 3.2.0. But I would prefer to update the release anyway, the version of tomboy- ng in Bullseye has issues that flowed from Debian's decision to drop libappindicator3 in favour of libayana (and, not surprisingly, they have different file names!).
