Yes i know, I was just comparing compiling to binary packages from OBS.
Us who compile would know to update the compilation procedure to match the
new distro.
I think anyone using the OBS packages will have added them by hand so they
"should" be aware of that if upgrading.

I'm adding some info now anyway...  :)

Question:
if I change my OBS repository from say debian12 to debian13 do i also need
to install the gpg key for that version or does the gpg key work for all
versions?
