Andy its great to see this update, I have been working with trixie to find an
upgrade path past 2.9.4 the last couple of days so will be experimenting
further,
One thing I notice is that your script at
https://www.linuxcnc.org/linuxcnc-install.sh does not support Trixie but as
you say the linuxcnc.org repos do support it.
also with Trixie, we really should be formatting our sources according to the
new deb822 format which also works with Bookworm.
Its exciting to see the new workflows bypass the need for buildbot2 which does
not support Trixie.
And for the first time, linuxcnc on Bullseye is supported by our repos and
build process.

Rod Webster
