Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:debian-edu
User: [email protected]
Usertags: unblock
Please pre-upload approve unblocking package debian-edu
[ Reason ]
We would like to make Debian Edu aware of the Lomiri Operating
Environment, so we can offer Lomiri as a desktop environment on
Debian Edu systems.
This upload will also include further minor changes / fixes:
* Reference network-manager-applet instead of network-manager-gnome.
* Install required software by certain Debian Edu installation profiles
via education-* package recommendations rather than via cfengine3
scripts in debian-edu-config src:pkg (counterpart upload is in prep).
* Add sources.list.trixie (required for ISO image generation and
blends-dev scripts).
[ Impact ]
This unblock request is mainly about whether the release team
acknowledges the debian-edu upload via NEW to get
education-desktop-lomiri added to the set of bin:pkgs provided by
debian-edu src:pkg.
If this gets rejected, we can live with it, but it would be really nice
to provide a tablet capable shell (i.e. Lomiri) in Debian Edu.
If the Lomiri integration gets rejected, we will provide an alternative
2.13.1 upload only including the minor changes / fixes listed above.
[ Tests ]
None, except from building the package and checking the dependency changes.
(Normally, nothing else needs testing).
[ Risks ]
Nearly none, impact only on Debian Edu.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
Relevant for Debian Lomiri and Debian Edu.

+ * tasks/desktop-lomiri:

+ - debian-edu-tasks.desc: Update file. Add education-desktop-lomiri task.

+ applet.
+ * tasks/main-server:
+ - Add icinga2-ido-mysql. In Debian 12, this was pulled in via the cfengine3
+ post-install cf.icinga script. In Debian 13, we need to install this
+ before cfengin3 scripts are run.
+ * sources.list.trixie: Add file. Assure that packages targetting trixie are

+
+ * d/control: Update file via 'make dist' applying the following changes:
+ Workstations:
+ - lxde: Replace network-manager-gnome by network-manager-applet.
+ - lxqt: Add network-manager-applet.
+ - lomiri: Add Lomiri as a Debian Edu desktop environment.
+ Main server:
