Waydroid-Linux say its based on debian bookworm but using sid repos?

[TNTBOMBOM]

Describe the bug

To reproduce the issue:

• Download Debian 12 beta (Lineage17.1) from https://waydro.id/#wdlinux.
• Install it.
• Check /etc/apt/sources.list.

In the link provided https://sourceforge.net/projects/blissos-dev/files/waydroid/linux/beta/debian/bookworm/03-15-22/, it states:

This is the first Debian/Waydroid Remix we've done, based on bookworm (sid).

"bookworm (sid)"? It's like saying it's based on stable (unstable) -> what?

Note: Using sid repositories to upgrade the system (comes by default in the OS) and then trying to use Waydroid won't work either, because one of its dependencies relies on python3.9 and below, while sid only has versions 3.10 and above.

Thx!

Debian Testing typically reports itself as "sid".
Here an example of my system running Debian Testing:

juliangro@x299-desktop:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid
Release:	n/a
Codename:	trixie
juliangro@x299-desktop:~$ 

They most likely wrote this when Bookworm was still Testing and Bookworm therefore still referred to itself as Sid in some places.
Not saying that his is right, but it seems like an easy mistake to make considering Debian itself reports something misleading (or wrong).

Your comment is correct if it's just a typo in the SourceForge readme. However, they actually do use the sid repository inside Waydroid-Linux, which, if you perform any upgrade, will break Waydroid itself, as I mentioned above.

So, it's not just a typo; it's a design mistake/bug.

That is from last year when Bookworm wasn't released, so if you're currently on stable it should work.

so if you're currently on stable it should work.

Current bookworm if you install waydroid inside it you gonna face these issues #903 #900 -> Waydroid doesnt work in debian stable 12 bookworm

Ok Install ready Waydroid-Linux distro ->

Waydroid is just a dead software atm whether used with debian stable or unstable (didnt test it with other distros).
