not quite sure what debian-edu package to put this into, if any. would it make sense to make a debian-edu-thin-client package? in addition to package-level configurations specific to debian-edu such as the above feature, it would also simplify some of the debian-edu specific ltsp-build-client plugins as a nice side-effect; required packages could be handled with dependencies rather than hard-coded into the plugins. > the progressbar on ltsp-client-builder has more than two steps, so it > doesn't immediately jump to 50% and then appear to hang... > > this would have to be backported into a package, or at least a replacement > .udeb and just drop a hook into ltsp-server's directory structure. i've committed in debian-edu-config svn an ltsp-build-client plugin that should work, but would still need to figure out a way to handle the ltsp-client-builder udeb. the simplest idea would be to create a source package that just had the ltsp-client-builder udeb based on the packages currently in experiental. or is there a way to pull a single udeb from experimental? also committed to debian-edu-artwork svn some improvements to the debian-edu ldm theme that should make it look a little nicer. live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
