Support for Debian13

[huww98]

Debian 13 is just around the corner. Any plans to support it? Do you welcome/need community contribution on this?

Hello, we already have someone provisioned for this, but would always like extra hands to review/test as we figure out the new deb13 builds.

Hopefully merged-usr is finally supported as discussed in #1393

Yeah that's the goal

Hello,

Debian 13 is out, so wanted to ping here just in case:

If required, we can run our product CI on top of those images and report issue if we find some.

We mainly use java21, base-nossl and cc.

This start to become a blocking issue as many language images are using Debian 13, which use glibc 2.41. But Debian 12 use glibc 2.36.

The functionality is added to rules_distroless already, but not released yet. Can any maintainer cut a new release for it?

There is a ticket open but that project seems slow nowadays.

Seems sad after months of soft and hard freeze leaving ample time to kink out all build problems that debian13 still isn't supported... why not just publish beta images in advance so the community can help solve problems faster? 🤔

Perhaps the documentation at https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless/blob/main/README.md should be updated appropriately to reflect the changes in the relevant PR?

@linghengqian that PR doesn't do any builds, I'm working on that now. I need people to understand that builds will be in preview to determine if there are any quirks that we aren't aware of, particularly when using the merged usr fs.
