Hi all,

I was just about to install Woocommerce, a very popular plugin for managing 
webshops, on my Debian 13 box, but
Warning: woocommerce: This plugin does not work with your version of 
WordPress. Minimum WordPress requirement is 6.9. 

Package: wordpress
Current version in Trixie: 6.8.3+dfsg1-0+deb13u1
Current version in Forky: 6.9.4+dfsg1-1 
Requested version: 6.9 at least

So, a backport from Forky would help, and given the prevalence of Woocommerce, 
it should be a strong argument. 

There are some version dependencies too. I have made a quite clean upgrade 
path, simply by pinning:
Package: *
Pin: release n=forky
Pin-Priority: 50

Package: wordpress wordpress-l10n php-getid3 libjs-underscore libjs-lodash
Pin: release n=forky
Pin-Priority: 900

resulting in the following dry-run:
# apt --dry-run upgrade

Upgrading:
  libjs-lodash  libjs-underscore  php-getid3  wordpress  wordpress-l10n

Summary:
  Upgrading: 5, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 0

[all]) []
Inst wordpress [6.8.3+dfsg1-0+deb13u1] (6.9.4+dfsg1-1 Debian:testing [all])

Conf wordpress-l10n (6.9.4+dfsg1-1 Debian:testing [all])
Conf wordpress (6.9.4+dfsg1-1 Debian:testing [all])

But before I commit to do this upgrade, I figured I'd better ask for a 
backport.

Kind regards,

Kjetil
