Installing on Raspberry Pi OS bullseye distribution

[Aslak Vaa]

I recently upgraded to Raspberry PI B4 and went for the 64 bit bullseye distribution of  Raspberry Pi OS.

I installed weewx on Raspberry Pi as described in https://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm and everything works fine.

There is one small issue that puzzles me.

Following the installation description sets content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list to "deb [arch=all] http://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main"  which works fine on both buster and bullseye distributions of Raspberry Pi OS.

sudo apt update

Hit:5 http://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster InRelease

However, if I alter /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list to "deb [arch=all] http://weewx.com/apt/python3 bullseye main", I get some errors

E: The repository 'http://weewx.com/apt/python3 bullseye Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

This is not av big deal, but it would feel better when the package installation was prepared for bullseye.

I just did a clean SD installation of bullseye lite 64 bit on a pi4 and it worked fine.

Why would you alter that file ?

Appears like weewx.com's webserver took a momentary hiccup.

Try it again.
