SUMMARY: Upgrade Bock from Debian 10 (Buster) to Debian 11 (Bullseye)
During our recent discussions on the SysAdmin Mailing List, the decision was made to upgrade bock.sluug.org
from Debian 10 (Buster) to Debian 11 (Bullseye). Both of these Debian versions support Mailman 2.x.
Upgrading from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 is out of scope for this task. Debian 11 (Bullseye) still supports Mailman 2.x. We can proceed with the upgrade to Debian 11 without making any major changes to mailman.
Once we are successfully migrated to Debian 11, a separate effort will be made to upgrade from Mailmain 2 to Mailman 3 (or switch to a different list manager altogether).
This section describes our plan to upgrade Bock to Debian 11.
This section will contain all actions that need to be performed to execute the Plan.
This section describes our plan for restoring Bock to a working Debian 10 state, if the upgrade goes poorly and needs to be reverted.
This section will contain all actions that need to be performed to execute the Backout Plan.
