For several months the release table has stated that Seafile 9.0.x will eventually support Debian 11, but nothing has been released yet.
Debian 11 has now been released for around a year and a half. I haven’t upgraded my servers with Debian 10 to version 11 just because of Seafile. In the first quarter of 2023, Debian will start preparing for the release of version 12 Bookworm. The Toolchain Freeze is today. Debian 12 may come out before the end of the year and I’m forced to still use Debian 10 because of Seafile.
I love Seafile, but the lack of support for a long-released Debian version annoys me.
There are voices on the forum claiming that Seafile doesn’t run with Python 3.9.2 which is included in Debian 11. Unfortunately I can’t check that. I installed Seafile 9 on a test server running Debian 11, which basically worked. Just the command pip install cffi==1.14.0
threw an error. I fixed this by installing the Debian python3-cffi package and changing a file in the seafile tree to accept version 1.14.5. I have to find out which file that was first.
What should I do?
