Debian 13 "trixie" for LoongArch, hopefully in a few months' time. Stay tuned ;-)
Out of this evening bikeshedding session:
xen0n, 8/12/25 6:43 PM now I need a name for the repo, I'll take anything better than
trixie-unofficial-build
(snip)

xen0n, 8/12/25 8:18 PM lol This could work as a dashboard name... but maybe not for the project
НеБутлег русский тролль(迫真), 8/12/25 8:18 PM (mental glitch)
xen0n, 8/12/25 8:21 PM the more I look at it the more I like it if I can't think of anything better tonight I'll just go with this
НеБутлег русский тролль(迫真), 8/12/25 8:22 PM True -- the whole reason this project even exists is because there's no trixie [for loong64].
xen0n, 8/12/25 8:22 PM if someone ever asks why it's called this I'll just say: For this dish of vinegar (to have this snazzy dashboard) I went and made a whole bunch of jiaozi (built the packages as the dashboard's data source).
xen0n, 8/12/25 8:23 PM Could've just used
Math.random
for the numbers, but no -- they actually went and packaged 'em How considerate they are, /me literally crying to death

xen0n, 8/12/25 8:18 PM 草 这可以做看板名字 项目名字还是算了
НеБутлег русский тролль(迫真), 8/12/25 8:18 PM (错乱
xen0n, 8/12/25 8:21 PM 越看越顺眼 今晚想不出别的的话就这个了(
НеБутлег русский тролль(迫真), 8/12/25 8:22 PM 确实,需要发起这个项目就是因为没有 trixie
xen0n, 8/12/25 8:22 PM 问为啥起这名,就说为了这碟醋(有一个炫酷的看板)包了这顿饺子(做出这个看板的数据源)
xen0n, 8/12/25 8:23 PM 本来
Math.random
几个数的事情,非要真把包编出来,他真的,我哭死
Trivia
The idiom “为了这碟醋包了这顿饺子” literally means "made a whole bunch of jiǎozi just for [accompanying] the dish of vinegar", and is used to humorously refer to someone completing a large or complex task just for a smaller, secondary reward. In this case, the "jiǎozi" are the painstaking work of actually recreating the trixie archive, and the "vinegar" is the snazzy dashboard.
And if you're sufficiently into Chinese internet memes, “他真的我哭死” is also a sarcastic expression that already has lost much of its original intensity, due to semantic bleaching.
All in all the name is a play on the sister project 《咱龙了吗?》/AREWELOONGYET?, which in turn is a tribute to Mozilla's playful culture of making various "Are we *** yet" sites.
