< T335507: Build Bookworm based Toolforge Kubernetes images | NOTYETCREATED >
Debian 13 "Trixie" is planned to be released on August 9th. Once it's out, and we have a Wikimedia base image for it, we should build Toolforge prebuilt images based on it.

@bd808 and others, how would you feel about dropping the giant list of fonts installed in the PHP image and pushing users needing those to the build service instead?
I’d feel better about it if we had confirmation that the build service works for this use case, i.e. that the tricks used by the apt buildpack are enough to make any fonts installed via the Aptfile actually available. (But I don’t know which / how many tools even need the extra fonts in the first place, or how hard it would be to make them look for fonts somewhere in /layers/fagiani_apt/apt/ “manually”.)
The context for adding those fonts is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/docker-images/toollabs-images/+/838939 from 2022 and the resulting cloud-admin thread, where buildpacks were predicted as the long-term solution even back then. So if there are bugs in this area, we should definitely fix those.
With the 8.4 image, dropping the font packages and librsvg cuts about three quaters (~450M out of ~600M) from the unique part of the PHP images not shared with the base Toolforge trixie layer. So given that a practical opportunity to drop stuff exists only about every two years, I would very much like to take advantage of it here.

Does someone have time to work with the svgtranslate tool to see if it can be made to work with buildpacks? That tool's woes leaving the job grid was the trigger for me bloating the php image with the fonts that svgtranslate needs.
No, I have not heard anything from the maintainers of that tool about their plans for a migration. I don't think that is also a reasonable blocker for releasing these images to the rest of the community.
