(this message is mainly addressed to those who are NOT from no/en/de) Dear List, if you ever tried the default portal http://tjener.intern recently, you might have noticed that there is a Skolelinux page now instead of apache default. http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu-config/var/www/ is the place where you'll find its English, Norsk and German version. It could be discussed if there should be additions - or, more generally, if this page should address users rather than the admin. For now, I only suggest to translate this page into all languaged available on the current CD. If you cannot commit your translation yourself you should - announce your translation on this list to prevent work done twice - post a link to the translation if it is ready (TSTB) Note that there is a stylesheet (CSS) that alters the look.

We should stay with the current features and make them working. Just remember we have to check the daily build, test the barebone stuff (my task), verify the ltsp problems and check if they still exist and make some random checks on the daily build installations. We all have big ToDo-lists and as you may know I also want to change some stuff, but IMHO the priority should be on releasing instead of making changes (please notice that this is not a criticism on your changes). So please help with testing and releasing (my plan is to release within the next three weeks). After the release we can keep on adding new features. Because I hate releasing with half implemented features which are not tested in a productive environment. We should make sure that we have a *stable* release. Greetings Steffen P.S.

My intention was to keep the complexity low, while still aim as many bugreports at Debian as all parties can agree on. A more complex situation would indeed include your point above, Petter, but also that of obnoxious Debian maintainers as Finn-Arne have experienced.

I did not want to submit the hack, but someone asked me gently, and I submitted it. If you look on a server that's using open-backdoor, you will see that ther might be several instances of it running. If you try to kill the running backdoor with /etc/init.d/open-backdoor stop, you will find that it's still running. I Myself has not used it since ages, but find it from time to time on other servers, and most of the times, the person(s) that has set backdoor up has forgotten all about them. I've changed into using a combination of ssh+ppp, which is much nicer if you manage a lot of servers (like I do), but a bit more work to set up. I would suggest we use remove open-backdoor, and tell people about openvpn or the possibility of using ssh+ppp. The script I use now is still a hack, but when monitored, they do work.

Ah, daemon seem to work like the 'detach' package we have here at the university. And launchtool seem to be able to do part of the job the open-backdoor script is doing.

[Benjamin Sonntag] > Hi all, Hi. :) Good to see more active developers. :) > - added automatic managment of binaries' manpages (or link to > "undocumented.7.gz") I remember something about the undocumnted.7 manual page being obsolete. Check policy to see if it is still needed. > - added /etc/default/backdoor empty file (with explanations) The backdoor system have a problem and should probably be fixed before it is better documented. It can make upgrades hang, I believe, because the background script isn't closing all the file descriptors. We need some wrapper to detach the script from the controlling terminal and close all file descriptors. Any voluneers to write such wrapper in a script language? I got a C version, but want to keep debian-edu-config architecture neutral. > - added lintian-override about xconf_boot errors on lintian I believe the correct fix is to add "support" for the missing arguments, aka accept the arguments and write error messages when they are used, Or perhaps remove the script if it is no longer needed. The rest of the changes looked good. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
