Debian system update documentation

Can anyone tell if Debian provides documentation for system updates to Debian Bookworm ?

I placed this exact question on Reddit forum expecting a answer since they have detailed documentation and the post was removed. The reason I am making this inquiry is it appears they are not putting out the same updates to all users for the same system.

afaik, the release notes are that documentation.

or do you mean this: https://www.debian.org/News/2023/20231007 ?
(actually I don't understand your question, what do you mean by they are not putting out the same updates to all users for the same system.)

Thanks PAN64.

it appears that https://www.debian.org/News/2023/20231007 provides details on system updates applied to Debian.

I have noticed that bluetooth stopped working after an update and then corrected after an update. I have also noticed VLC 3.0.18 no longer plays videos currently properly. I will use this to see if I can identify what changes are occurring before applying the update.

in that case you might want to mark the thread as solved.

compis · 10-20-2023, 11:49 PM

the case is not solved.

When I tried to look for "gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-4.0" I could not find this update in the list or through a search

wow. What if you open a thread about your problem next time, not something completely different?
it is here: https://packages.debian.org/search?s...ords=gir1.2-ja
