It's been rather quiet here, Just wondering how the progress is going preparing for the next release?

It's moving right along.
No critical issues.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

It's a matter of time. @johnraff is the only one who has the skill-set to build a full BL-boron-alpha.iso at the moment, and until we get that we're kind of stuck. Need to see the product before we can tweak it.
That said, I have been running trixie for the last six months and I think, given the state of Linux at the moment and all that entails, it's going to be Debian's best release yet. A great combination of stability, new packages, and dpkg/apt, my favorite package manager(s).
I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

OK got the message!
Need to tweak and release bunsen-configs first, to incorporate all the new theming settings, icon theme dependencies etc, but I think that's the main thing in the way of trying a Trixie alpha iso build.
Of course, that's assuming live-build itself hasn't changed in any way that requires a lot of config changes. It's had a lot of work since Bookworm, so not out of the question. Fingers crossed...
EDIT: Excuse for slow work is that my eyes are in the recovery phase after cateract surgery, and I have to keep my time looking at the computer down or I get headaches. Seems to be improving though.

I've installed a Trixie test system and it's been pretty solid so far at this stage so hopefully no showstoppers for Carbon :-)

@hhh on reflection that might have looked a bit sharp. It was meant to be said with the sort of tongue-in-cheek rattiness that isn't easy to convey on an internet forum.

All good, and take my remark as a compliment!

johnraff and hhh are the two guys that know being tongue-in-cheek(y) rattiness in a public social intercourse between each other is a sign of respect directed towards the other.
Did I say that right?
Yes we are on schedule.

Well, @marens thinks I'm female, so "two guys" is questionable. *huge emoji goes here*

^ What?
You're not a woman?
Now I'm disappointed!

Prior to an Alpha ISO release, are there step-by-step instructions for installing the next version for testing using the Trixie net installer?

Use this image (amd64)...
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/trix … etinst.iso
Source: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Use these instructions (jump to 3B after 1 and 2, use the second suggestion in 4B, then continue through the steps)...
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8961
Make sure to change "bookworm" to "trixie" and "boron" to "carbon" in your sources.
Where's that confounded 4A?

Thank you - here are updated trixie/carbon net install instructiions.
Note: Updated instructions on 7/23/2025 to download the rc2 iso of Trixie.
To set up a BunsenLabs Base system, follow these steps:
1) Download current Debian trixie "netinstall" iso
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/trix … etinst.iso
2) Follow the usual netinstall process, remembering:
*) Don't set a password for 'root' in the user setup phase
*) In the package selection phase, choose only "standard system utilities"
3) Login to the new command-line system & Issue the following commands
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
wget https://ddl.bunsenlabs.org/ddl/bunsen-release.asc
sudo cp bunsen-release.asc /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d
4) Edit the apt sources
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen.list
type in this line:
deb https://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/debian carbon main
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, add 'contrib' and 'non-free' and to all the existing debian lines:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
The lines should be something like:
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
(If you're not planning to build any packages from source, you can also comment out the lines which begin with 'deb-src'.)
Update again:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
5) Now install the BunsenLabs base packages.
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends bunsen-meta-base (or bunsen-meta-lite or bunsen-meta-all)
6) Reboot to see the graphical interface:
sudo systemctl reboot
