Packaging: Package for Debian bullseye or bullseye-backports

[Northcode]

The Debian package is currently only available in: buster (oldstable), bookworm (testing) and sid (unstable).

Since bullseye is the new stable release, kubectx should be available there as well, if not, maybe in bullseye-backports, since its available in bookworm.

Same here, bullseye is current, buster is obsolete and going away. Like most, I use Ubuntu and installing kubectx is a pain on it, this should not be so. Could you maybe just release a snap package, that can be installed on all Linuxes, it will work for sure. Instead of having to create 20 different packages, this might help.

This by the way, how it is indicated on stackoverflow is a really horrible bad thing to do, to include the whole repo of an old obsolete Debian distro and then disable all security, not checking the repo key:

deb [trusted=yes] http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster main

is not how you do it.

Any packaging help is appreciated. I don't use Ubuntu so I can't fix this. There's already a Snap pull request open and being worked on.

Is there any news about the package for Debian Bullseye?

[ahmetb]

@martinreck packaging is not managed in this repository. I recommend reaching out to Debian package maintainer directly.

I guess this is the repository for the Debian package: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kubectx

Considering packaging is not managed here, I'm closing this issue.

I'm no longer using this on debian, so I'm not going to follow this up with the debian maintainer.
