Hi,
Debian 10.0 (buster) was released on Sunday. You can now use the
self-installer to install it. From the Xen Shell type:
xen shell> install debian_buster
If this is not your first install you may wish to check that your
architecture is set to x86_64 (64-bit). If it's 32-bit then you can
change it with:
xen shell> arch x86_64
I recommend that you do switch to 64-bit if you haven't already.
The new Debian testing (bullseye) is also present but is still a
work in progress. We'd still be interested in hearing about any
problems with it.

Hello,
Debian 10 (buster) is supposed to be released later today. Those who
wish to upgrade to it in the usual Debian way should be able to do
so after reading the release notes for any gotchas:
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/release-notes/
I am not aware of any gotchas that are specific to the BitFolk
environment, but if you think you have found one please do let us
know.
If planning a clean install, the "buster" release has been available
for some time in our Xen Shell, but under the code name
"debian_testing", because right now it still is technically the
testing release.
If you issue the command:
xen shell> install debian_testing
now or at any time after the release of Debian 10 then I believe
this should result in a working install of Debian 10. I just tested
it with a minimal install (base system + openssh) and it seems to
(still) work.
It may be several days after the release before we can get around to
updating the labels in the Xen Shell so that "debian_buster" is there
and "debian_testing" gets you "bullseye". It does tell you what it's
going to install so there should be no confusion.
Cheers,
Andy
