 Description   

Hello,

It's been several days since Debian 11 release (current stable); their release cycle started with package freeze at 2021-01-12. At this moment, it has been enough time (7 months!) to compile and put the packages into the repository for this distro, so there's no reason to not have it available.

The result for this lateness comes with a price: we are not using MongoDB for a project that starts today at my company, as the policy is to use the latest stable Debian distro (11/bullseye currently). We are not using docker for this client.

Please, take into the account that since SSPL, you are the only option to put MongoDB for those who want a trusted origin and don't want to compile their own binaries, as every major distro has kicked mongodb from their repositories for legal reasons.

Thank you

We've added debian 11 builds to 5.0 starting with version 5.0.8
Repo is available here - https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian/dists/bullseye/mongodb-org/5.0/main/binary-amd64/

At this current moment, I have the DEV environment running with systemd and prebuilt debian 10 binaries on a custom folder on debian 11. Maybe this will be useful to Ante Peric

My deployment is delayed for months because of this.

Also, note that `apt-key` is deprecated in bullseye, so documentation needs to be updated as well.

Hello Guys

Do we have an estimation when we can expect official Debian 11 (bullseye) repo from MongoDB team? Is it happening this year / next year?

It's a bit concerning that after nearly 4 months from Debian stable release we still have nothing : (

Hi gerard.monells@gmail.com,

Thank you for your report. I've assigned this to the appropriate team to schedule this against currently planned work.

Best,
Edwin
