the usual answer is "when it's done" ;) we don't want to fork too early, as that increases the amount of work we have to do. I'll try to remember to ping this thread once our bookworm packages are available as preview.

but like Wolfgang said - there are two crates that have an incompatible version in bookworm:
- zstd (and zstd-safe and zstd-sys), the patch for that is fairly mechanical
- syslog (could be backported to the bullseye-based releases)

and a few crates that are not in bookworm or too old, as well as the proxmox-apt change for also accepting Bookworm or skipping that test.

well, you have to sort out the actual ordering yourself (I just meant that the build-dependencies should be correct and you can use them for ordering the builds) - not sure what tooling you use ;) e.g., debian uses wanna-build for that, we mostly do it by hand since we only (re-)bootstrap every ~2 years when a new Debian stable release is approaching..

hope that helps!
