I'm backporting all the packages to debian trixie, I have just upgraded a virtual machine without issue:
repository is 90% ready in trixie, unfortuantely the laptop im using here is too slow (it has exactly 10 years old lol) so the builds are a bit slow, but not something that can stop making this a reality 
in fact I remember the first version of Elive was made from a 300 Mhz + 256 MB ram machine 
Yes, I will need to upgrade my thinkpad next. I don't have my main computer with me here now.
Anyhow, stay tunned to the thread! I will give upgrader instructions later, more will come soon... 
Let's use this thread to debate about our betatestings, after it is verified that works good, elive-upgrader will give it as an option to all the users to upgrade their actual bookworm machines 
mentions: @triantares @TheTechRobo
Implementing it to elive-upgrader, so that normal users can do an upgrade themselves...
It will work in 3 stages, basically after a stage has accomplished, it will be available to the next one
- alpha: it will be only available for betatesters, so can run:
elive-upgrader --betatest, to betatest the upgrade and to see that everything is working good (im the first one trying it now)
- beta: stage available for patrons: it will show to people supporting elive only
- stable: available for everybody else, as a way to give to the users the option to upgrade their systems
The tool is meant to give a very good quality "debian upgrade" method, with security backups, fallbacks, hooks if needed, etc...
yes elive is rolling release, not only because you can upgrade it from the repos, but is even automated / guided for the users
Very nice this. An excellent way to make ease of use available. Kudos.
