Hi,

docker-compose package has been removed from Trixie repo 10 days ago:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-testing-changes/2024/12/msg00012.html

I can see there is some regression issue right now:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/docker-compose

I'm a new user of Debian testing, so sorry if it's obvious, but I want
to ask two questions:

1. I know that Debian testing is an ongoing process of updates and
testing before the next Debian major release, but is that normal to have
this package removed? Does is mean that someone works on that and if
solved this package will appear again in repo?

2. I read somewhere that Debian unstable (sid) is more reliable for
daily usage then Debian testing (currently Trixie). Is that true?
(BTW: I switched from bookworm to trixie due to availability of KDE
Plasma 6)

Thanks,
Rafal

Thank you Niels for all your answers! I did not expect such detailed explanation.

Debian is build by volunteers.

Yes, I know that. That's the source of three things from my side:
 - a huge respect to Debian team for this hard work
 - no expectations in case something does not work
 - I love Debian :-)

The only way for sure to know if "someone" works on it is by being
that "someone". Maybe that is not for you.

Unfortunately that's not for me - no time and knowledge to contribute, I think...

Otherwise, you are welcome to wait to see if someone else gets around
to do it (the official maintainer or a drive-by volunteer).

Yes, of course I will.

If you are mostly happy with testing

Can't wait for Trixie to be a new Debian stable :-)

Best regards,
Rafal
