Stable ("buster" at the moment) is a good choice if you aren't
interested in getting the newest things all the time, but prefer a
stable system. The -backports suites have selected packages from
"testing" for use on stable.

I'll keep the wsjtx backport in buster-backports updated.

Testing ("bullseye") is continually being updated from unstable
("sid") with a delay of a few days. That is a good choice if you are
willing to upgrade the system every (few) week(s).

Unstable is really only recommended if you are following Debian
development closely and want to be the first to find bugs before
packages migrate to testing.

Hi Paul, Christoph & all,

Many thanks for this very interesting information.

I'm a long time user of the Red Hat, then Fedora distribution. At the 
decision time of the distribution to use, this was probably not the 
wrong choice, but time has gone and I'm less and less convinced that 
this is not more the best choice for me. Today, Fedora is really an 
experimental distribution. The introduction of pulseaudio and systemd 
have been difficult. Now, the introduction of btrfs as standard 
filesystem is planned for the next release. Further, the support 
dropping of the i386 architecture is another problem.


Now, the question which occurs for me is "is it better to switch to 
Debian stable ?". The sublevels (stable, testing, etc.) are not the same 
in Debian and Fedora. For me, it's difficult to understand which are the 
matching sublevels.


At the present state, I think that the switching to Debian stable, with 
the backports option, could be a good choice. Today, I'm not more a big 
software designer, but I'm only a little one.


Many thanks to you for your valuable advice.

Best wishes,
Claude (DJ0OT)


I've recently added wsjtx 2.2.2 to buster-backports. So you can just
install from there, or "apt build-dep wsjtx".


I've compiled WSJT-X for a number of years now on Debian without
significant issues.  I was able to resolve all dependencies from within
the regular repo.

Currently running Debian 10 Buster, fully patched to the current
version.  If you search the forum archives for my callsign you should be
able to see a couple related discussion threads with specific information.

Yesterday I compiled 2.3.0-rc1 on my Debian 10 machine that runs WSJT-X
2.2.2 and encountered no new dependency issues.  So once you get the
initial dependencies met, it becomes smoother sailing.

I am currently working 30M FT8 with a Kenwood TS-590.  No issues
encountered yet.

I haven't tried but do not expect anything that cannot be resolved by 
installing a package from the official repos. Ubuntu 20.04.1, which I 
use for development, is based Buster which is Debian stable.


Thanks Bill ! That is interesting. My opinion was that Ubuntu is based 
on the UNSTABLE Debian distribution. This was the reason of my question.

Hi Claude,

I think that was the case when Ubuntu 20.04 was first released. As I 
understand it Debian Unstable is just Stable with rolling updates of 
packages, so Ubuntu can be based on Stable (Buster) and take packages 
from Unstable (Sid). Either way, both Debian Stable and Ubuntu 20.04 are 
Debian v10 releases.
